ANSWER:  \sqrt{3}

GIVEN:  |\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=1 \quad \&|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|=1

HINTS: Use the identity of  (a+b)^{2} \&(a-b)^{2}

SOLUTION:

\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|=1 \\ & \end{aligned}

|\vec{a}+\vec{b}|^{2}=1^{2}\qquad[\text { Squaring both sides }] \\

\Rightarrow|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}+2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=1\qquad\left[\because(a+b)^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}+2 a b\right] \\

\Rightarrow 1+1+2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=1 \qquad[\because|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=1] \\

\Rightarrow 2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=-1 \Rightarrow \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=-1

Now

\begin{aligned} &|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|^{2}=|\vec{a}|^{2}+|\vec{b}|^{2}-2 \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}\qquad\left[\because(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b})^{2}=\mathrm{a}^{2}+b^{2}-2 a b\right] \\ & \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|^{2}=1+1-2 \frac{1}{2}=1 \qquad\left[\because|\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=-\frac{1}{2}\right] \\

\Rightarrow|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|=\sqrt{3}
