Step 1

Introduction:- 

Let We have two vectors then We know that the dot product of the two vectors is given as 

A.B= ABcosθ

where θ is the angle between vector A and Vector B.

We have given that the angle between the unit vector is as 

θ= 0.1 radina θ= 5.7295.73θ= 5.73° 

We also know that the unit vector is defined as a vector that has a magnitude and direction. the magnitude of the unit vector is always 1 unit.

Unit vector = vector magnitude of the vector
