Answer

$\mathbf{u}\cdot\mathbf{v}=-500\sqrt{3}$

Work Step by Step

$\mathbf{u}\cdot\mathbf{v}=\|\mathbf{u}\|\|\mathbf{v}\|\cos{\theta}$ $\|\mathbf{u}\|=40$ $\|\mathbf{v}\|=25$ $\cos{\theta}=\cos{\frac{5\pi}{6}}=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ therefore, $\mathbf{u}\cdot\mathbf{v}=40\times25\times\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)=-500\sqrt{3}$
