the two vectors are the same length, call it 1
Draw coordinate system with a from origin to x = 1 along x axis
Now draw b, length = 1, from origin to lower right in quadrant 4
Now complete parallelogram to find a+b and a-b vectors
see that for a-b to be length of 1, need equilateral triangle so angle is 60 degrees
