Did you make your sketch?
You have a triangle with all sides known, a clear case of the cosine law,
let the angle between them be Ø
189^2 = 244^2 + 168^2 - 2(244)(168)cosØ
2(244)(168)cosØ = 244^2 + 168^2 - 189^2
cosØ = (244^2 + 168^2 - 189^2)/(2(244)(168) )
take over, let me know what you got, so I can check it
1066
no
the answer is 50.6
0.63?
