Question
CBSEENPH11026359

If A + B = C and that C is perpendicular to A. What is the angle between A and B, if A = B

  • π4 rad

  • π2 rad

  • 3 π4 rad

  • π rad

Solution

C.

3 π4 rad

Given:-

      A + B = C

Since, B = C - A

Also

   C  A

    B2 = 2 A2

⇒   B = 2 A

Now

    A2 + B2 + 2A B cosθ = C2 = A2

∴          cos θ = - 12

This gives

       θ = 3π4 rad
