3 The points \(A\) and \(B\) have position vectors \(\mathbf { a }\) and \(\mathbf { b }\) relative to an origin \(O\), where \(\mathbf { a } = 4 \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } - 2 \mathbf { k }\) and \(\mathbf { b } = - 7 \mathbf { i } + 5 \mathbf { j } + 4 \mathbf { k }\).
  1. Find the length of \(A B\).
  2. Use a scalar product to find angle \(O A B\).
