The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements and verify their validity step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 We are given: - |veca| = 3 - |vecb| = 4 - |veca + vecb| = 5 We need to determine if |veca - vecb| = 5. ### Step 2: Use the Law of Cosines According to the law of cosines, for any two vectors veca and vecb, we have: \[ |veca + vecb|^2 = |veca|^2 + |vecb|^2 + 2 |veca| |vecb| \cos(\theta) \] Where \(\theta\) is the angle between veca and vecb. Substituting the known values: \[ 5^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 + 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot \cos(\theta) \] Calculating the squares: \[ 25 = 9 + 16 + 24 \cos(\theta) \] This simplifies to: \[ 25 = 25 + 24 \cos(\theta) \] Subtracting 25 from both sides gives: \[ 0 = 24 \cos(\theta) \] This implies: \[ \cos(\theta) = 0 \] ### Step 3: Determine the Angle Since \(\cos(\theta) = 0\), it means that \(\theta = 90^\circ\). Therefore, veca and vecb are perpendicular to each other. ### Step 4: Calculate |veca - vecb| Now we can calculate |veca - vecb| using the same law of cosines: \[ |veca - vecb|^2 = |veca|^2 + |vecb|^2 - 2 |veca| |vecb| \cos(\theta) \] Substituting the values: \[ |veca - vecb|^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 - 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4 \cdot \cos(90^\circ) \] Since \(\cos(90^\circ) = 0\): \[ |veca - vecb|^2 = 9 + 16 - 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ |veca - vecb|^2 = 25 \] Taking the square root: \[ |veca - vecb| = 5 \] ### Conclusion for Statement 1 Thus, Statement 1 is true: |veca - vecb| = 5. ### Step 5: Analyze Statement 2 Statement 2 states that "The length of the diagonals of a rectangle is the same." This is a known property of rectangles, and it is true. ### Final Conclusion Both statements are true, and Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements and verify their validity step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 We are given: - |veca| = 3 - |vecb| = 4 - |veca + vecb| = 5 ...
