The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem where two vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) are such that the magnitude of their dot product is equal to the magnitude of their cross product, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understand the Given Condition**: We are given that: \[ |\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B}| = |\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| \] 2. **Use the Formulas for Dot and Cross Products**: The dot product of two vectors can be expressed as: \[ \vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta \] The cross product of two vectors can be expressed as: \[ |\vec{A} \times \vec{B}| = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \sin \theta \] 3. **Set the Two Expressions Equal**: From the given condition, we can write: \[ |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \cos \theta = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \sin \theta \] 4. **Cancel Common Terms**: Assuming \( |\vec{A}| \) and \( |\vec{B}| \) are not zero, we can divide both sides by \( |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \): \[ \cos \theta = \sin \theta \] 5. **Use the Identity**: The equation \( \cos \theta = \sin \theta \) implies: \[ \tan \theta = 1 \] 6. **Find the Angle**: The angle \( \theta \) for which \( \tan \theta = 1 \) is: \[ \theta = 45^\circ \quad \text{or} \quad \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \text{ radians} \] ### Final Answer The angle between the vectors \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(45^\circ\). ---
