Let $P$ be the point of intersection of the lines $L_1 \equiv x-y-7=0$ and $L_2 \equiv x+y-5=0$. $A(x_1, y_1)$ and $B(x_2, y_2)$ are points on the lines $L_1=0$ and $L_2=0$ respectively such that $PA=3\sqrt{2}$,$PB=\sqrt{2}$,$x_1, y_1 \geq 0$,$x_2, y_2 \geq 0$. Then the angle made by the line segment $AB$ at the origin is
