Unit #8: Extended Trigonometry
Accel Precalculus Unit #8: Extended Trigonometry Lesson 7: Scalar (Dot) Products EQ: What are scalar products and what do they tell us about vectors?
3
Find the missing side for the given triangle.
Recall: SAS Use Law of Cosines
4
How can we find the angle between the given vectors?
Magnitude =
5
Ex 1. Find the angle between the given vectors.
Note these are position vectors.

VECTOR VECTOR SCALAR ???????
10
Therefore the result of the dot product is a SCALAR.
= (4)(2) + (5)(3) = = 23
11
Used in an alternative method for finding an angle between two vectors.
Method II: Using the Dot Product
