Let a⃗=3i−2j+6k\vec{a}=3\mathbf{i}-2\mathbf{j}+6\mathbf{k} and b⃗=4i+5j−2k\vec{b}=4\mathbf{i}+5\mathbf{j}-2\mathbf{k}. Answer the following questions. (i) Find the magnitudes ∣a⃗∣|\vec{a}| and ∣b⃗∣|\vec{b}|. (ii) Calculate the angle between a⃗\vec{a} and b⃗\vec{b}, giving your answer correct to the nearest degree. (iii) State whether this angle is acute or obtuse and give a brief reason for your answer.
