The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between two vectors given their scalar product and vector product, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - The scalar product (dot product) of two vectors **A** and **B** is given by: \[ A \cdot B = |A| |B| \cos \theta \] - The vector product (cross product) of two vectors **A** and **B** is given by: \[ A \times B = |A| |B| \sin \theta \] 2. **Set Up the Equations**: - From the problem, we know: \[ A \cdot B = 8 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] \[ A \times B = 8\sqrt{3} \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] 3. **Substitute into the Equations**: - From Equation 1: \[ |A| |B| \cos \theta = 8 \] - From Equation 2: \[ |A| |B| \sin \theta = 8\sqrt{3} \] 4. **Divide Equation 2 by Equation 1**: - This gives us: \[ \frac{|A| |B| \sin \theta}{|A| |B| \cos \theta} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{8} \] - Simplifying this, we find: \[ \tan \theta = \sqrt{3} \] 5. **Determine the Angle**: - The angles for which \(\tan \theta = \sqrt{3}\) are: \[ \theta = 60^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad \theta = 120^\circ \] 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the angle between the two vectors can be either \(60^\circ\) or \(120^\circ\). ### Final Answer: The angle between the two vectors is \(60^\circ\) or \(120^\circ\).
