Answer:
[tex]v \cdot w = 8.0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
See comment for complete question
Given
[tex]|v| = |w| = 4[/tex] --- the side lengths
Required
[tex]v \cdot w[/tex]
[tex]v \cdot w = |v| \cdot |w| \cdot (cos\theta)[/tex]
From the question, we understand that v and w are sides of an equilateral triangle.
This means that:
[tex]\theta = 60^o[/tex] --- angles in an equilateral triangle
So:
[tex]v \cdot w = |v| \cdot |w| \cdot (\cos 60)[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]v \cdot w = 4 * 4 * 0.5[/tex]
[tex]v \cdot w = 8.0[/tex]
