The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step-by-step, we will analyze the given vectors and their magnitudes, and then apply the properties of triangles and angles. ### Step 1: Write down the given information We have three non-collinear vectors: - \( |\vec{a}| = 2 \) - \( |\vec{b}| = 5 \) - \( |\vec{c}| = \sqrt{29} \) ### Step 2: Apply the Pythagorean theorem Since the vectors are non-collinear and their magnitudes satisfy the equation: \[ |\vec{a}|^2 + |\vec{b}|^2 = |\vec{c}|^2 \] we can check: \[ 2^2 + 5^2 = \sqrt{29}^2 \] Calculating the left side: \[ 4 + 25 = 29 \] Calculating the right side: \[ 29 = 29 \] This confirms that the vectors form a right triangle. ### Step 3: Understand the angles In a right triangle, the angles opposite the sides can be defined. Here, we denote: - \( \theta_1 \) as the angle between \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{c} \) - \( \theta_2 \) as the angle between \( \vec{b} \) and \( \vec{c} \) Since \( \vec{c} \) is the hypotenuse, the angles \( \theta_1 \) and \( \theta_2 \) are complementary to the right angle. ### Step 4: Relate the angles From the properties of triangles, we know: \[ \theta_1 + \theta_2 = \frac{\pi}{2} \] However, since the problem states that \( \theta_1, \theta_2 \in \left[\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right] \), we need to adjust our understanding. ### Step 5: Find the sum of angles Since \( \theta_1 \) and \( \theta_2 \) are the angles in the triangle formed with the right angle, the total angle around point \( C \) (the vertex opposite the hypotenuse) can be expressed as: \[ \theta_1 + \theta_2 + \frac{\pi}{2} = \pi \] Thus, rearranging gives: \[ \theta_1 + \theta_2 = \pi - \frac{\pi}{2} \] This simplifies to: \[ \theta_1 + \theta_2 = \frac{3\pi}{2} \] ### Conclusion The value of \( \theta_1 + \theta_2 \) is: \[ \theta_1 + \theta_2 = \frac{3\pi}{2} \]
