To solve the problem, we need to find the vector \(\vec{OC}\) in terms of \(\vec{OA} = \vec{a}\) and \(\vec{OB} = \vec{b}\). Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Geometry Given that the arc \(AC\) subtends a right angle at the center \(O\), we can denote the angles as follows: - Let \(\angle AOB = x\) - Since \(B\) divides the arc \(AC\) in the ratio \(1:2\), we have: \[ \angle AOB + \angle BOC = 90^\circ ...
