To prove that the magnitude of the difference of two unit vectors \( \mathbf{A} \) and \( \mathbf{B} \) is \( \sqrt{3} \) given that their sum is also a unit vector, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We know that both \( \mathbf{A} \) and \( \mathbf{B} \) are unit vectors. Therefore, we have: \[ |\mathbf{A}| = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad |\mathbf{B}| = 1 \] Additionally, we know that the sum of these two vectors is also a unit vector: ...
