B

`|veca|^(2) = |vecb|^(2) + |vecc|^(2)`

C

`|vecb|^(2) = |veca|^(2) + |vecc|^(2)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we start with the given conditions about the vectors \(\vec{a}\), \(\vec{b}\), and \(\vec{c}\). ### Step 1: Understand the Given Conditions We know: 1. \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0\) (This means that vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\) are perpendicular.) 2. \(\vec{a} + \vec{b} = \vec{c}\) ### Step 2: Square Both Sides of the Equation We will square the equation \(\vec{a} + \vec{b} = \vec{c}\): \[ (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) \cdot (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) = \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c} \] ### Step 3: Expand the Left Side Using the distributive property of the dot product, we expand the left side: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a} + 2(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b} = \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the Known Values Since we know that \(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = 0\), we can substitute this into our equation: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a} + 2(0) + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b} = \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c} \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{a} \cdot \vec{a} + \vec{b} \cdot \vec{b} = \vec{c} \cdot \vec{c} \] ### Step 5: Rewrite in Terms of Magnitudes We can express the dot products in terms of magnitudes: \[ |\vec{a}|^2 + |\vec{b}|^2 = |\vec{c}|^2 \] ### Conclusion Thus, we have derived the relationship: \[ |\vec{a}|^2 + |\vec{b}|^2 = |\vec{c}|^2 \] This means that the magnitude of vector \(\vec{c}\) is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the magnitudes of vectors \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{b}\). ### Final Answer The condition that holds true is: \[ |\vec{a}|^2 + |\vec{b}|^2 = |\vec{c}|^2 \] ---
