As we learned in

Triangle law of vector Addition -

If two vector are represented by both magnitude and direction by two sides of triangle taken in same order then their resultant is represented by 3rd side of triangle. 

- wherein

Represents triangle law of vector Addition

 

 \left | \vec{A}-\vec{B} \right |\:=\:\left | \vec{A}+\vec{B} \right |

A^{2}+B^{2}-2ABCos\theta \:=\:A^{2}+B^{2}+2ABCos\theta

4ABCos\theta \:=\:0

Cos\theta\:=\:\frac{0}{4AB}\:=\:0^{\circ}
