Answer

$36.87^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

$\textbf u $=$\langle 1,7 \rangle$ $\textbf v $=$\langle 1,1 \rangle$ $\cos\theta$=$\frac{ \textbf u . \textbf v }{ | \textbf u | | | \textbf v | } $ $\cos\theta$=$\frac{ \langle 1,7 \rangle . \langle 1,1 \rangle }{ | \sqrt {1^2+7^2}| | | \sqrt { 1^2+1^2} | } $ $\cos\theta$=$\frac{ 1\times 1+7\times 1 }{ | \sqrt {50}| | | {\sqrt { 2} | } }$ $\cos\theta$=$\frac{ 8 }{ | \sqrt {50}| | | \sqrt { 2} | } $ $\cos\theta$=$\frac{ 8 }{ 10 }=\frac{4}{5}$ $\theta$ $=\cos^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)=36.87^{\circ}$
