This is just the distance formula found in coordinate geometry.
We can find the angle between two vectors by using the dot product
For vectors

The multiplication is carried out in a different way than multiplying brackets in algebra. We usually multiply brackets in algebra:
(
a
+
b
+
c
)
(
d

e
+
f
)
=

In the dot product we multiply corresponding components and sum the results:
(

(
