    The sum and difference of two vectors are perpendicular to each other. Prove that the vectors are equal in magnitude.

    Answer:

                    The sum and difference of two vectors \[\vec{A}\] and \[\vec{B}\] are (\[\vec{A}\]+\[\vec{B}\]) and (\[\vec{A}\] - \[\vec{B}\]). If these are perpendicular to each other, then their dot product should be zero, i.e. \[(\vec{A}+\,\vec{B})\text{ }.\vec{A}-\,\vec{B}~=\text{ }0\]= 0 or \[\vec{A}.\,\vec{A}-\vec{A}.\vec{B}+\vec{B}.\vec{A}-\vec{B}.\vec{B}=0\] or \[{{\text{A}}^{\text{2}}}-{{\text{B}}^{\text{2}}}=0\]or \[{{\text{A}}^{\text{2}}}={{\text{B}}^{\text{2}}}\]or \[\text{A}=\pm \text{B}\]
