Very simple

Geometry Level 2

For two vectors, their dot product is numerically equal to their cross product.

Therefore, the angle between the vectors in degrees is __________ . \text{\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_}.

Let the 2 2 vectors be a \vec{a} and b \vec{b} and the angle between them be θ \theta . Assume that the magnitude of the 2 2 vectors is non-zero and θ \theta is in principal range, i.e., θ [ 0 , π ] \theta \in [0,\pi] . Now, given that ---->

a b = a × b \vec{a} \centerdot \vec{b} = \vec{a} \times \vec{b}

a b cos θ = a b sin θ \implies |\vec{a}||\vec{b}| \cos \theta = |\vec{a}||\vec{b}| \sin \theta

cos θ = sin θ \implies \cos \theta = \sin \theta

tan θ = 1 θ = 4 5 \implies \tan \theta = 1 \implies \boxed{\theta = 45^{\circ}}

yeah...did the same way..!
