To determine whether the statement \( |\vec{a}| = |\vec{b}| + |\vec{c}| \) is true given that \( \vec{a} = \vec{b} + \vec{c} \), we can analyze the situation using vector properties and the triangle inequality. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Vector Equation**: We start with the equation \( \vec{a} = \vec{b} + \vec{c} \). This means that vector \( \vec{a} \) can be represented as the sum of vectors \( \vec{b} \) and \( \vec{c} \). 2. **Visualizing the Vectors**: ...
