उत्तर
`(vec"a" + vec"b")^2 = vec"a"^2 + vec"b"^2 + 2vec"a" * vec"b"`
`|vec"a" + vec"b"|^2 = |vec"a"|^2 + |vec"b"|^2 + 2|vec"a"|*|vec"b"| cos theta`
`|vec"a" + vec"b"|^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 - 2 xx 1 xx 1 cos theta`
= `2 + 2 cos theta`
= `2(1 + cos theta)`
`|vec"a" + vec"b"|^2 = 2 xx 2 cos^2 theta/2`
`|vec"a" + vec"b"|^2 = 2 cos theta/2`
`cos theta/2 = 1/2|vec"a" + vec"b"|`
