Drawing absolute value bars around a fraction with different height of numerator and denominator
Here, I use \stretchleftright{|}{...}{|}
to achieve it.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{scalerel,amsmath}
\begin{document}
\[
\cos\phi=\stretchleftright{|}{\frac{
\begin{pmatrix}1\\1\\1\end{pmatrix}
\circ
\begin{pmatrix}1\\2\\3\end{pmatrix}
}{
\sqrt3\cdot\sqrt{1^2+2^2+3^2}
}}{|}
\]
\end{document}
I'd like to suggest a solution that's different from either of your preferred choices.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mathtools} % for '\DeclarePairedDelimiter' macro
\DeclarePairedDelimiter{\abs}{\lvert}{\rvert}
\begin{document}
\[
\cos\phi= \frac{1}{\sqrt3 \cdot\sqrt{1^2+2^2+3^2}}
\abs*{\begin{pmatrix}1\\1\\1\end{pmatrix}\circ
\begin{pmatrix}1\\2\\3\end{pmatrix}}
\]
\end{document}
