Question
**Please answer the following question(s):**

1. Two vectors **a** and **b** are added together; the sum of the vectors is **c** as in the figure below.

What is the relative angle "C" between the two vectors to the nearest degree?

Assume the following magnitudes:
- \(|\mathbf{a}| = 6\)
- \(|\mathbf{b}| = 7.5\)
- \(|\mathbf{c}| = 10\)

*Hint: Use the Law of Cosines and solve for the angle C.*

Angle C = 

---

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram is a triangle formed by the vectors \(\mathbf{a}\), \(\mathbf{b}\), and \(\mathbf{c}\). It shows vector \(\mathbf{a}\) and vector \(\mathbf{b}\) connecting to form the resultant vector \(\mathbf{c}\). The angle between vectors \(\mathbf{a}\) and \(\mathbf{b}\) is labeled as angle C.
