Misc 19 If θ is the angle between any two vectors 𝑎 and 𝑏, then 𝑎 ⋅ 𝑏 = 𝑎 × 𝑏 when θ is equal to (A) 0 (B) 𝜋4 (C) 𝜋2 (D) π Given, 𝑎 ⋅ 𝑏 = 𝑎× 𝑏 So, 𝑎 𝑏 cos θ = 𝑎 𝑏 sin θ cos θ = sin θ We know, that cos 𝜋4 = sin 𝜋4 = 1 2 ∴ θ = 𝝅𝟒 Therefore, the angle between the vectors 𝑎 and 𝑏 is 𝜋4, So, option (B) is correct.
