Answer:

60 degrees or pi/3 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the dot product of two vectors is itself a scalar.

Vector A   dot   Vector B = |A||B|cos theta   is the appropriate formula here.

We are told that the dot product value is 30.  Thus,

30 = 10*6^cos theta, where theta is the angle formed by the vectors.

30

----- = 1/2 = cos theta.

60

Find the inverse cosine of 1/2.  It's 60 degrees or pi/3 radians.
