How to find angle between 2 3D vectors?

Hello, I have 2 sets of 3D data and I want to find out the angle between the two after dimensionality reduction. I have written the following code but the accurate angle is not showing.
z2 and z3 are the two mesh grids generated from the 3D data.
[V2,D2]=eigs(z2);
P2=svd(V2);
[V1,D1] = eigs(z3);
V1=sort(V1,'descend');
P1=svd(V1);
angle = atan2(norm(cross(P1,P2)), dot(P1,P2))
Can anybody help me in this regard? Thanks in advance, Ampi.

If P1 and P2 are three-element vectors, your formula for the 3D inner angle between them is correct. However I have questions about the preceding code. For example, if you use the non-negative singular values coming from 'svd' for P1 and P2 element values, that restricts your angle to the range 0 to pi/2 radians (0 to 90 degrees). How do you justify that? What are the sizes of z2 and z3? If they are other than 3-by-3, you will have something other than three eigenvectors in V2 and V1 and consequently other than three singular values in both P2 and P1 vectors.

hi,
is it atan or cos^-1 (acos) because the scalat product is :
V.U=||U||.||V||.cos(U^V);
