The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the angle between vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) given the conditions: 1. \(\vec{A} + \vec{B} = \vec{C}\) 2. \(\vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} = 0\) ### Step 1: Understand the implications of the equations From the second equation, \(\vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{C} = 0\), we can rearrange it to find: \[ \vec{C} = -(\vec{A} + \vec{B}) \] ### Step 2: Substitute \(\vec{C}\) in the first equation We already have \(\vec{C} = \vec{A} + \vec{B}\) from the first equation. Therefore, substituting this into the rearranged second equation gives: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} = -(\vec{A} + \vec{B}) \] ### Step 3: Analyze the equation This implies: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} + \vec{A} + \vec{B} = 0 \implies 2(\vec{A} + \vec{B}) = 0 \] Thus, we can conclude: \[ \vec{A} + \vec{B} = 0 \implies \vec{B} = -\vec{A} \] ### Step 4: Find the angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) Since \(\vec{B} = -\vec{A}\), the angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(180^\circ\) or \(\pi\) radians. ### Conclusion The angle between vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is: \[ \theta = \pi \text{ radians} \]
