Question 37 / 40:  For the vectors A= 4 i + 2 j + 8 k and B = 3 i -2 j - 7 k, where i, j, and k are unit vectors in a rectangular coordinate system, perform the following task. From the formula ||A x B|| = ||A|| ||B|| sin(q), calculate q.
A  38.4 degrees
B  84.3 degrees
C  0.843 degrees
D  0.85 radians
E  3.84 radians

Explanation:

q = asin(54.44/72.17) = 0.843 radians. Note that this answer is not the same as that obtained via the scalar dot product. Rather, that answer is exactly pi (3.14159) - q.
