Two nonparallel vectors always define a plane, and the angle is the angle between the vectors measured in that plane. Note that if both a and b are unit vectors, then kakkbk= 1, and ab = cos . So, in general if you want to find the cosine of the angle between two vectors a and b, first compute the unit vectors aˆ and bˆ in the directions of a ...
