The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the two vectors \(\vec{A} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}\) and \(\vec{B} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}\), we can use the formula for the dot product of two vectors, which relates the dot product to the angle between them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the Dot Product of \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\)**: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k}) \cdot (3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}) \] Using the properties of dot product: \[ = 3 \cdot 3 + 4 \cdot 4 + 5 \cdot (-5) \] \[ = 9 + 16 - 25 = 0 \] 2. **Calculate the Magnitudes of \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\)**: - For \(\vec{A}\): \[ |\vec{A}| = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16 + 25} = \sqrt{50} \] - For \(\vec{B}\): \[ |\vec{B}| = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16 + 25} = \sqrt{50} \] 3. **Use the Dot Product to Find the Cosine of the Angle**: The formula relating the dot product to the angle is: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos(\theta) \] Substituting the values we found: \[ 0 = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos(\theta) \] Since \(|\vec{A}|\) and \(|\vec{B}|\) are both non-zero, we can conclude: \[ \cos(\theta) = 0 \] 4. **Determine the Angle \(\theta\)**: The angle \(\theta\) for which \(\cos(\theta) = 0\) is: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \] ### Final Answer: The angle between the vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(90^\circ\). ---
