The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the given equation and the magnitudes of the vectors: 1. **Given Information**: - \( a + b + c = 0 \) - \( |a| = 3 \) - \( |b| = 5 \) - \( |c| = 7 \) 2. **Rearranging the Equation**: - From the equation \( a + b + c = 0 \), we can isolate \( a + b \): \[ a + b = -c \] 3. **Taking the Magnitude**: - Now, we need to find the magnitude of \( a + b \): \[ |a + b| = |-c| \] - Since the magnitude of a vector is always positive, we have: \[ |a + b| = |c| \] 4. **Substituting the Magnitude of c**: - We know from the problem that \( |c| = 7 \): \[ |a + b| = 7 \] 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the value of \( |a + b| \) is: \[ |a + b| = 7 \] ### Summary: The final answer is \( |a + b| = 7 \).
