14. Angles Between Vectors
The scalar is the length of the vector
Say
Law of Cosines
Where:
- , and : lengths of the sides of a triangle
- : angle opposite the side
So, if is a scalar multiple of () where , then
And, if is a scalar multiple of () where , then
and are perpendicular if the angle between them is
If and are perpendicular, then
If and are non-zer0 and , then they are perpendicular
If then and are orthogonal.
