Find |a-b| if |a|=2 |b|=3 a.b=4

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek therefore, not to find out who you are; seek to determine who you want to be."

2x3xcosA=4
cosA=2/3

so we have
|a-b|=root(4+9-2*2*3*2/3)
=root(13-8)=root5

this is simple enough

cos ? = 2/3

then mod (a-b) = sqrt. (a2+b2 -2ab cos ? )



RATE ME, BUDDY

all the best ...

| a-b |2 =(a-b).(a-b)
          =a.a-a.b-b.a+b.b
         =|a|2 +|b|2 -2a.b
         =4+9-8
         =5
|a-b|= 5

|a-b|=sqrt(|a|2+|b|2-2(a.b))
=sqrt(4+9-8)
=sqrt(5).
