Vectors $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{A}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}}$ have equal magnitudes of $5.00 .$ The sum of $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}$ is the vector 6.00$\hat{\mathrm{j}}$ . Determine the angle between $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathbf{B}} .$
