The dot product u20d7A · u20d7B=|A||B|cos(θ)=a₁b₁+a₂b₂ (in 2D). If u20d7A · u20d7B>0, the angle is acute; <0, obtuse; =0, vectors are perpendicular. For instance, with u20d7A=[3,4] and u20d7B=[4,3], u20d7A · u20d7B=3×4+4×3=24, magnitudes |A|=5,|B|=5, so cos(θ)=24/25→θ=cos⁻¹(24/25)=16.26°. This measure underlies geometry (orthogonal checks), physics (work= u20d7F · u20d7d), and advanced math transformations. Dot product mastery fosters deeper vector analysis crucial in multi-dimensional calculus or engineering design tasks.
