How would you find magnitudes and angles of three dimensional vectors such as:
<1,5,2> and <3,7,1>
Also, how would you find the angle measures between these two vectors.
I know how to dot product two dimensional vectors, but how would you do this:
<1,5,2> * <3,7,1>
Yes this was on a math test. I was really confused. I never saw this on any other test.

Now I know the stakes, and I'm willing to show what I gots. I will see you all at state for the first and final time, so let's end the year with a bang! :)

So to find the magnitude of the two vectors:
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
So, to find the angle between them:
[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
