We generalize the notion of angles in the plane to angles in space.
The angle (unsigned angle) between $x \in \R ^3$ and $y \in \R ^3$ is the real number \[ \theta = \angle(x, y) = \cos^{-1}\frac{x^\top y}{\norm{x}\norm{y}} \]
\[ \theta = \angle(x, y) = \cos^{-1}\frac{x^\top y}{\norm{x}\norm{y}} \]
