Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\cos \theta=\dfrac{4}{21}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The angle \(\theta\) between two vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) is given by the formula \(\cos \theta = \dfrac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}| |\vec{b}|}\). Given \(\vec{a} = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - \hat{k}\) and \(\vec{b} = 6\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}\). Calculate the…
