this is the second answer i got
16.865987621884, is it correct. i cant afford to keep puttin in wrong answers. If its the answer then i know what im doing now.
u = < - 2, 8 >
v = < -7, - 9 >
cos (theta) = u (dot) v / [ ll u ll * ll v ll ]
u (dot) v = 14 - 72 = -58
ll u ll = sqrt [ (-2)^2 + (8)^2 ] = sqrt (68)
ll v ll = sqrt [ (-7)^2 + (-9)^2 ] = sqrt [ 49 + 81] = sqrt (130)
cos (theta) = -58 / [ sqrt (68) * sqrt (130) ]
arcos [ -58 / [ sqrt (68) * sqrt (130) ] ] = theta ≈ 128.0888°
Here is a graph that shows this, Veteran :
Find the angle between the vectors. State your answer in degrees,
rounded to at least four decimal places.
