  1. (i) Two non-zero vectors, \(\mathbf { a }\) and \(\mathbf { b }\), are such that
$$| \mathbf { a } + \mathbf { b } | = | \mathbf { a } | + | \mathbf { b } |$$ Explain, geometrically, the significance of this statement.
(ii) Two different vectors, \(\mathbf { m }\) and \(\mathbf { n }\), are such that \(| \mathbf { m } | = 3\) and \(| \mathbf { m } - \mathbf { n } | = 6\) The angle between vector \(\mathbf { m }\) and vector \(\mathbf { n }\) is \(30 ^ { \circ }\)
Find the angle between vector \(\mathbf { m }\) and vector \(\mathbf { m } - \mathbf { n }\), giving your answer, in degrees, to one decimal place.
