2. Three cables are used to support a container as shown.

Determine the angle formed


by cables AB and AD.

 We need to get the position of the points first and write them in cartesian vector
format.
 We get the position vectors rAB and rAD. Simplify the position vectors.
 We then find the magnitude of the position vectors rAB and rAD.
 We will take the dot product between the two position vectors rAB and rAD.
 After getting the dot product of r AB and rAD, we can now find the angle formed by
cable AB and AD.
