Answer:

3.6°

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Find the angle between the given vectors to the nearest tenth of a degree.

u = <8, 7>, v = <9, 7>

we will be using the formula below to calculate the angle between the two vectors;


u*v = |u||v| cos \theta


\theta is the angle between the two vectors.

u = 8i + 7j and v = 9i+7j

u*v = (8i + 7j )*(9i + 7j )

u*v = 8(9) + 7(7)

u*v = 72+49

u*v = 121

|u| = √8²+7²

|u| = √64+49

|u| = √113

|v| = √9²+7²

|v| = √81+49

|v| = √130

Substituting the values into the formula;

121= √113*√130 cos θ

cos θ = 121/121.20

cos θ = 0.998

θ = cos⁻¹0.998

θ = 3.6° (to nearest tenth)

Hence, the angle between the given vectors is 3.6°
