The angle between vector A and vector B is θθas shown above.
The resultant is shown in red. Using the cosine rule:
R2=A2+B2−2AB(cosβ)R2=A2+B2−2AB(cosβ)
But the magnitude of each vector is the same, therefore
A2=A2+A2−2(A)(A)(cosβ)A2=A2+A2−2(A)(A)(cosβ)
cosβ=−A2−2(A2)cosβ=−A2−2(A2)
β=60∘β=60∘
θ=180∘−60∘=120∘
The resultant is shown in red. Using the cosine rule:
R2=A2+B2−2AB(cosβ)R2=A2+B2−2AB(cosβ)
But the magnitude of each vector is the same, therefore
A2=A2+A2−2(A)(A)(cosβ)A2=A2+A2−2(A)(A)(cosβ)
cosβ=−A2−2(A2)cosβ=−A2−2(A2)
β=60∘β=60∘
θ=180∘−60∘=120∘

ANSWER : 120°
EXPLANATION : The angle between vector A and vector B is θθas shown above.
The resultant is shown in red. Using the cosine rule:
R2=A2+B2−2AB(cosβ)R2=A2+B2−2AB(cosβ)
But the magnitude of each vector is the same, therefore
A2=A2+A2−2(A)(A)(cosβ)A2=A2+A2−2(A)(A)(cosβ)
