(A) Given that,$|\vec{a}| = 1$ and $|\vec{b}| = 1$. Since $\sqrt{3}\vec{a} - \vec{b}$ is a unit vector,its magnitude is $1$,so $|\sqrt{3}\vec{a} - \vec{b}| = 1$. Squaring both sides,we get $|\sqrt{3}\vec{a} - \vec{b}|^2 = 1^2$. Using the property $|\vec{u} - \vec{v}|^2 = |\vec{u}|^2 + |\vec{v}|^2 - 2(\vec{u} \cdot \vec{v})$,we have: $3|\vec{a}|^2 + |\vec{b}|^2 - 2\sqrt{3}(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}) = 1$. Substituting $|\vec{a}| = 1$ and $|\vec{b}| = 1$: $3(1)^2 + (1)^2 - 2\sqrt{3}|\vec{a}||\vec{b}|\cos 	heta = 1$. $3 + 1 - 2\sqrt{3}(1)(1)\cos 	heta = 1$. $4 - 2\sqrt{3}\cos 	heta = 1$. $2\sqrt{3}\cos 	heta = 3$. $\cos 	heta = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$. Therefore,$	heta = 30^{\circ}$.

If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ are unit vectors,then what is the angle between $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ for $\sqrt{3}\vec{a} - \vec{b}$ to be a unit vector (in $^{\circ}$)?
