Question
If $| A + B |=| A |+| B |$ the angle between $\overrightarrow A $and $\overrightarrow B $ is $ ....... $

Answer
For two vectors $A \square A \rightarrow$ and $B \square B \rightarrow, $ the angle between them being $\theta \theta,$ the magnitude of the resultant vector $A + B \rightarrow A + B \rightarrow$ is given by,$| A + B |$
$=\sqrt{| A |^2+| B |^2+2 AB \cos \theta}$
Now in the problem we've,
$| A + B |=| A |+| B |$
Squaring on both sides,
$| A + B |^2=(| A |+| B |)^2$
$| A |^2+| B |^2+2| A || B | \cos \theta$
$=| A |^2+| B |^2+2| A || B |$
$\Rightarrow \cos \theta=1$
assuming neither of the vectors are $zero$ vectors.
