.If ifference of two unit vectors is a unit vector, prove that magnitude of their sum is `sqrt3`

Answer» `| vec a| = 1, | vec b|=1`
`| vec a - vec b | = 1`
`sqrt( a^2 + b^2 - 2 vec a vec b cos theta) = 1`
`sqrt(1 + 1 - 2*1*1*cos theta) = 1`
`1 + 1 - 2 cos theta = 1`
`2cos theta = 1`
`cos theta = 1/2`
`|vec a + vec b| = | vec a|^2 + |vec b|^2 + 2|vec a|| vec b| cos theta`
`= sqrt( 1 + 1 + 2 xx1/2)`
`= sqrt3`
Hence proved
