ANSWER: 4

GIVEN:  |\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|, \theta=60^{\circ} \quad \& \quad \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=8

HINTS: use the formula of cosθ

SOLUTION:Let,

  $$ |\vec{a}|=|\vec{b}|=x

We know that

\cos \theta=\frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|}

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{8}{xx x}\qquad\left[\because \theta=60^{\circ}, \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}=8, \overline{\mid a}|=| \vec{b} \mid=x\right] \\ & \end{aligned}

\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}=\frac{8}{x^{2}} \qquad\left[\because \cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{1}{2}\right] \\

\Rightarrow x^{2}=16 \\

\Rightarrow x=4 \\

\therefore|\vec{a}|=\vec{|b|}=4
