\[\left| \vec{a} \right| = 2, \left| \vec{b} \right| = 3 \text{ and } \vec{a} . \vec{b} = 4........ \left( 1 \right)\]
\[\text{ We know that }\]
\[ \left| \vec{a} - \vec{b} \right|^2 = \left| \vec{a} \right|^2 + \left| \vec{b} \right|^2 - 2 \vec{a} . \vec{b} \]
\[ = 2^2 + 3^2 - 2 \left( 4 \right)............. \left[ \text{ Using } \left( 1 \right) \right]\]
\[ = 4 + 9 - 8\]
\[ = 5\]
\[ \therefore \left| \vec{a} - \vec{b} \right| = \sqrt{5}\]
