u dot v = <8,4> dot <9,-9> u dot v = 8*9 + 4*(-9) u dot v = 72-36 u dot v = 36
-----------------------
cos(theta) = (u dot v)/(|u|*|v|) cos(theta) = (36)/(4*sqrt(5)*9*sqrt(2)) cos(theta) = (36)/(36*sqrt(10)) cos(theta) = 1/(sqrt(10)) cos(theta) = sqrt(10)/10 theta = arccos(sqrt(10)/10) theta = 71.56505 which rounds to 71.6 when rounding to one decimal place (nearest tenth)
That's why the approximate answer is roughly 71.6 degrees
