The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given vectors and their relationships based on the information provided. ### Step-by-step solution: 1. **Understanding the Vectors**: We have three non-collinear vectors \( \vec{a}, \vec{b}, \) and \( \vec{c} \) with magnitudes: - \( |\vec{a}| = 2 \) - \( |\vec{b}| = 5 \) - \( |\vec{c}| = \sqrt{29} \) 2. **Using the Law of Cosines**: The law of cosines states that for any triangle with sides \( a, b, c \) opposite to angles \( A, B, C \): \[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cos(C) \] Here, we can apply this to find the angles \( \theta_1 \) and \( \theta_2 \). 3. **Finding \( \theta_1 \)**: For the angle \( \theta_1 \) between \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{c} \): \[ |\vec{c}|^2 = |\vec{a}|^2 + |\vec{b}|^2 - 2 |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \cos(\theta_1) \] Substituting the values: \[ 29 = 2^2 + 5^2 - 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 5 \cos(\theta_1) \] \[ 29 = 4 + 25 - 20 \cos(\theta_1) \] \[ 29 = 29 - 20 \cos(\theta_1) \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = -20 \cos(\theta_1) \implies \cos(\theta_1) = 0 \] Therefore, \( \theta_1 = \frac{\pi}{2} \). 4. **Finding \( \theta_2 \)**: Similarly, for the angle \( \theta_2 \) between \( \vec{b} \) and \( \vec{c} \): \[ |\vec{c}|^2 = |\vec{b}|^2 + |\vec{a}|^2 - 2 |\vec{b}| |\vec{a}| \cos(\theta_2) \] Substituting the values: \[ 29 = 5^2 + 2^2 - 2 \cdot 5 \cdot 2 \cos(\theta_2) \] \[ 29 = 25 + 4 - 20 \cos(\theta_2) \] \[ 29 = 29 - 20 \cos(\theta_2) \] This simplifies to: \[ 0 = -20 \cos(\theta_2) \implies \cos(\theta_2) = 0 \] Therefore, \( \theta_2 = \frac{\pi}{2} \). 5. **Finding \( \theta_1 + \theta_2 \)**: Now we can find the sum of the angles: \[ \theta_1 + \theta_2 = \frac{\pi}{2} + \frac{\pi}{2} = \pi \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( \theta_1 + \theta_2 \) is \( \pi \).
