Casio fx-3650p and HP 21S: 3D Vectors: Dot Products and Angle

Casio fx-3650p and HP 21S: 3D Vectors: Dot Products and Angle

The following program computes the dot product two three-dimension vectors and the angle between them.  Degrees mode is set. 

Casio fx-3650P

Input:  [A, B, C] and [X, Y, D]

Program (66 steps):

Deg : ? → A : ? → B : ? → C :
? → X : ? → Y : ? → D :
AX + BY + CD → M
√ ( A^2 + B^2 + C^2 :
Ans √ ( X^2 + Y^2 + D^2 :
cos^-1 ( M ÷ Ans

HP 21S

Input:  [R1, R2, R3] and [R4, R5, R6].  Store the amounts before running the program (XEQ B)
