Establish the following inequalities geometrically or otherwise ,
(a) ` | vec A + vec B| lt= | vec A | + |vec B|` ,
(b) ` | vec A + vec B| gt= ||vec A|- | vec B||`
(C )` | vec A- vec B| lt= | vec A| + |vec B|`
(d) `| vec A- vec B| gt= || vec A| - | vec B||`
When does the equality sign above apply ?

For any two vectors vec aa n d vec b , prove that | vec a+ vec b|lt=| vec a|+| vec b| (ii) | vec a- vec b|lt=| vec a|+| vec b| (iii) | vec a- vec b|geq| vec a|-| vec b|

if | vec a | = | vec b | = | vec a + vec b | = 1 then | vec a-vec b |

For any two vectors vec a, vec b | vec a * vec b | <= | vec a || vec b |

find | vec a |, | vec b | if (vec a + vec b) * (vec a-vec b) = 8 and | vec a | = 8 | vec b |

if | vec a | = | vec b | then find [(vec a + vec b) * (vec a-vec b)]

(vec a-vec b) * (vec a + vec b) = 27 and | vec a | = 2 | vec b | find | vec a | and | vec b |

For any two vectors vec a and vec b prove that | vec a + vec b | <= | vec a | + | vec b |

If vec a + vec b = vec c and | vec a | = | vec b | = | vec c | find the angle between vec a and vec b
