The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and apply vector operations. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Condition We are given that for two vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \): \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| \] This means that the dot product of the vectors is equal to the magnitude of their cross product. ### Step 2: Write the Formulas for Dot Product and Cross Product The dot product \( \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} \) can be expressed as: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta \] where \( \theta \) is the angle between the two vectors. The magnitude of the cross product \( |\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| \) can be expressed as: \[ |\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \sin \theta \] ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation From the given condition, we can equate the two expressions: \[ |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \sin \theta \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Equation Assuming \( |\vec{A}| \) and \( |\vec{B}| \) are not zero, we can divide both sides by \( |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \): \[ \cos \theta = \sin \theta \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( \theta \) The equation \( \cos \theta = \sin \theta \) implies: \[ \tan \theta = 1 \] This means: \[ \theta = 45^\circ \] ### Step 6: Find the Magnitude of \( \vec{C} = \vec{A} + \vec{B} \) The magnitude of the resultant vector \( \vec{C} \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ |\vec{C}| = |\vec{A} + \vec{B}| = \sqrt{|\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}|^2 + 2 |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta} \] ### Step 7: Substitute \( \theta \) into the Formula Since \( \theta = 45^\circ \), we have: \[ \cos 45^\circ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] Substituting this into the equation gives: \[ |\vec{C}| = \sqrt{|\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}|^2 + 2 |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}} \] ### Step 8: Simplify the Expression This simplifies to: \[ |\vec{C}| = \sqrt{|\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}|^2 + \sqrt{2} |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}|} \] ### Final Result Thus, the magnitude of \( \vec{C} \) is: \[ |\vec{C}| = \sqrt{|\vec{A}|^2 + |\vec{B}|^2 + \sqrt{2} |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}|} \]

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the given information and apply vector operations. ### Step 1: Understand the Given Condition We are given that for two vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \): \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| \] This means that the dot product of the vectors is equal to the magnitude of their cross product. ...
