Answer:

[tex]\theta=71.6^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two vectors

u=<8,4> and v=<9,-9>

The given vectors can be write as

[tex]\vec{u}=8\hat{i}+4\hat{j}[/tex]

[tex]\vec{v}=9\hat{i}-9\hat{j}[/tex]

We have to find the angle between two given vectors

The formula to find out the angle between two vectors is given below

[tex]cos\theta=\frac{\vec{u}\cdot\vec{v}}{\mid\vec{u}\mid\cdot \mid\vec{v}\mid}[/tex]

By applying this formula we have to find the angle between two vectors

[tex]\mid{\vec{u}\mid=\sqrt{8^2+4^2}=\sqrt{64+16}=\sqrt{80}=4\sqrt5[/tex]

[tex]\mid\vec{v}\mid=\sqrt{9^2+(-9)^2}=\sqrt{81+81}=9\sqrt2[/tex]

[tex]\vec{u}\cdot\vec{v}=(8\hat{i}+4\hat{j})\cdot(9\hat{i}-9\hat{j})=72-36=36[/tex]

Using  [tex]\hat{i}\cdot\hat{i}=1,\hat{j}\cdot\hat{j}=1,\hat{k}\cdot\hat{k}=1[/tex]

Substituting  the values then we get

[tex]cos\theta=\frac{36}{4\sqrt5\cdot9\sqrt2}[/tex]

[tex]cos\theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt10}=\frac{1}{3.16}[/tex]

[tex]cos\theta=0.3164[/tex]

[tex]\theta=cos^{-1}(0.3164)=71.55^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\theta=71.6^{\circ}[/tex]

Answer:[tex]\theta=71.6^{\circ}[/tex]
