Question
Find the angle betwwen two vectors $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$ if$|\vec{\text{a}}|=\sqrt{3},\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|=2$ and $\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=\sqrt{6}$
✓

Answer

We have,
$|\vec{\text{a}}|=\sqrt{3},\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|=2$ and $\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}=\sqrt{6}$
Let $\theta$ be the angle between $\vec{\text{a}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}$. then
$\cos\theta=\frac{\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}}{|\vec{\text{a}}|\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{3}\times2}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\theta=\cos^{-1}\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\Big)$
$=\frac{\pi}{4}$
