AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the angle between two vectors of equal magnitude when their resultant is equal to the magnitude of either vector. Let's denote the vectors as **A** and **B**, both having the same magnitude, which we can denote as **|A| = |B| = a**. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Resultant**: The resultant **R** of two vectors **A** and **B** can be calculated using the formula: \[ R^2 = A^2 + B^2 + 2AB \cos(\theta) ...
