Detailed Solution
Let |A|=|B|=athen |C|=2aGiven that A+B+C = 0or A+B = -CTaking self Product, we have(A+B)⋅(A+B)=(−C)⋅(−C)A2+B2+2A⋅B=C2a2+a2+2a2cosθ=2a2cosθ=0 or θ=90∘So, angle between A and B - 90"Again B+C = -Aor (B+C)⋅(B+C)=(−A)⋅(−A)or B2+C2+2B⋅C=A2a2+2a2+22a2cosϕ=a2cosϕ=−1/2 or ϕ=135∘So, angle between B and C is 135°'similarly, angle between c and A is 135°.
