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 dot product formula. Here are the steps to solve the problem: ### Step 1: Write down the vectors We have: \[ \vec{A} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \] \[ \vec{B} = 3\hat{i} + 4\hat{j} - 5\hat{k} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the dot product \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}\) The dot product of two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is given by: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = A_xB_x + A_yB_y + A_zB_z \] Substituting the components: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = (3)(3) + (4)(4) + (5)(-5) \] Calculating each term: \[ = 9 + 16 - 25 \] \[ = 25 - 25 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Use the dot product to find the angle The dot product is also related to the angle \(\theta\) between the vectors: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta \] Since we found that \(\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = 0\), we can write: \[ 0 = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta \] This implies: \[ \cos \theta = 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \(\theta\) The angle \(\theta\) for which \(\cos \theta = 0\) is: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \] ### Conclusion The angle between the two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(90^\circ\). ---
