Answer:

148.67

Explanation:

Angle between two vectors is equal to

Inverse cosine of their vectors dot product/ their magnitudes multiplied.


x = \cos {}^( - 1) ( (v * v_(2) )/( |v| |v _(2) | ) )

Let first, find the dot product


< - 2,5 > * < 4, - 3 > = - 8 - 15 = - 23

Next we find magnitudes


- 2 {}^(2) + {5}^(2) = x {}^(2)


29 = {x}^(2)


x = √(29)


{4}^(2) + {3}^(2) = {x}^(2)


25 = {x}^(2)


x = 5

So the we are now,


\cos {}^( - 1) ( ( - 23)/( 5√(29)) )

We then get
