If ` vec a , vec b` are any two vectors, then give the geometrical interpretation of g relation `| vec a+ vec b|=| vec a- vec b|`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `OA=a` and `AB=b`.
completing the parallelogram `OABC `
Then, `OC=b` and `CB=a ` from `ΔOAB`
we have
`OA+AB=Ob⇒a+b=OB . . . (i) `
From `ΔOCA`, we have
`OC+CA=OA `
`=>b+CA=a`
`=>CA=a−b . . . (ii) `
