3-1.Vectors
medium
$\overrightarrow A = 2\hat i + 4\hat j + 4\hat k$ and $\overrightarrow B = 4\hat i + 2\hat j - 4\hat k$ are two vectors. The angle between them will be ........ $^o$
A
$0$
B
$45$
C
$90$
D
$60$
Solution
(c) $\cos \theta = \frac{{\overrightarrow {\rm A} \,.\,\overrightarrow B }}{{|\overrightarrow {\rm A} \,|\,.\,|\,\overrightarrow B |}} = \frac{{{a_1}{b_1} + {a_2}{b_2} + {a_3}{b_3}}}{{|\overrightarrow {\rm A} \,|\,.\,|\overrightarrow B |\,}}$
$ = \frac{{2 \times 4 + 4 \times 2 – 4 \times 4}}{{|\overrightarrow A |\,.\,|\overrightarrow B |}} = 0$
$\therefore \theta = {\cos ^{ – 1}}(0^\circ )$ $ \Rightarrow \,\,\,\theta = 90^\circ $
