What formula is used to find the angle between two vectors?

cos(theta) = (u + v) / (|u| + |v|)

tan(theta) = (u * v) / (|u| * |v|)

sin(theta) = (u * v) / (|u| * |v|)

cos(theta) = (u * v) / (|u| * |v|)

How is the cosine of the angle theta calculated in vector mathematics?

cos(theta) = dot product / (magnitude of u * magnitude of v)

cos(theta) = dot product + (magnitude of u + magnitude of v)

cos(theta) = dot product - (magnitude of u * magnitude of v)

cos(theta) = dot product * (magnitude of u * magnitude of v)
