    I did that in maths, using the dot product formula;

    ab.cb = |ab||cb|cos A

    Let ab be your vector i+j and cb your vector j+k. Their vectors are:

    and

    Now, the dot product, multiply the similar vectors (i direction with i direction, j with j, and k with k)and add them;



    Solve for A, which is your angle. (you should have 30 degrees)

    Do the same for the other one.

    Hope it helped! :)
