### Problem 1.40

**(a) Find the scalar product of the vectors** \(\mathbf{A}\) **and** \(\mathbf{B}\) **given in Exercise 1.36 (b). Find the angle between these two vectors.**

Given vectors:
\[ \mathbf{A} = 4.00 \hat{i} + 7.00 \hat{j} \]
\[ \mathbf{B} = 5.00 \hat{i} - 2.00 \hat{j} \]

#### Explanation of Diagram

The diagram provided appears to illustrate vectors \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\) in a two-dimensional coordinate system. The x- and y-axes are labeled \(x\) and \(y\) respectively. 

Vector \(\mathbf{A}\) is shown extending from the origin to a point (4.00, 7.00) in the first quadrant, while Vector \(\mathbf{B}\) extends from origin to a point (5.00, -2.00), which places it in the fourth quadrant. The angle between the vectors, \(\theta\), is represented but not directly labeled with a specific value.

### Steps to Solve:

1. **Find the Scalar (Dot) Product**:
   The scalar product (dot product) of two vectors \(\mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B}\) is calculated as follows:
   \[
   \mathbf{A \cdot B} = (A_x \cdot B_x) + (A_y \cdot B_y)
   \]
   where \(A_x\) and \(A_y\) are the components of vector \(\mathbf{A}\), and \(B_x\) and \(B_y\) are the components of vector \(\mathbf{B}\).

2. **Calculate the Magnitudes of the Vectors**:
   The magnitude of vector \(\mathbf{A}\) is:
   \[
   |\mathbf{A}| = \sqrt{A_x^2 + A_y^2}
   \]
   Similarly, the magnitude of vector \(\mathbf{B}\) is:
   \[
   |\mathbf{B}| = \sqrt{B_x^2 + B_y^2}
   \]

3. **Find the Angle Between the Vectors**:
   The angle \(\
