...

Regardless of the approach, always conclude with:

Therefore, the final answer is: $oxed{answer}$. I hope it is correct.

Where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

Problem: Let $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b}$ be unit vectors such that $\mathbf{a} + 2 \mathbf{b}$ and $5 \mathbf{a} - 4 \mathbf{b}$ are orthogonal.  Find the angle between $\mathbf{a}$ and $\mathbf{b},$ in degrees.

Note: A unit vector is a vector of magnitude 1.
