Write the angle between the vectors a b and b a . - Vidyadip

Question

Write the angle between the vectors $\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{a}}.$

✓

Answer

$\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{a}}=-\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}$
So, $\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{a}}$ are vectors of same magnitude but opposite in direction.
Thus, the angle between the vectors $\vec{\text{a}}\times\vec{\text{b}}$ and $\vec{\text{b}}\times\vec{\text{a}}$ is $180^\circ.$
