Here. |A|=3, |B|=4, A.B=6
therefore. cos theta = A.B/|A||B|
=6/3×4
=1/2
Hence theta = 60°

Answer:
We have,
Scalar Product = I a I I b I . CosФ
Here Ф refers to the angle between the vectors.
=> A . B = I a I I b I . CosФ
A . B = 6 ; I a I I b I = 3 * 4
Substituting in the formula we get,
6 = 3 * 4 . CosФ
6 = 12 . CosФ
=> Cos Ф = 6 / 12 = 1 / 2
We know that Cos 60° is 1 / 2 . Hence the angle between them would be 60°
Hence Ф = 60°.
