### Description of the Vector Diagrams

#### Diagram 1
- **Vectors**: \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\)
- **Magnitudes**: 
  - \(\vec{A}\) has a magnitude of 3 units.
  - \(\vec{B}\) has a magnitude of 5 units.
- **Angle**: The angle between \(\vec{A}\) and \(\vec{B}\) is \(40^\circ\).

This diagram showcases two vectors forming an acute angle of 40 degrees. Vector \(\vec{A}\) is shorter than Vector \(\vec{B}\).

#### Diagram 2
- **Vectors**: \(\vec{C}\) and \(\vec{D}\)
- **Magnitudes**: 
  - \(\vec{C}\) has a magnitude of 2 units.
  - \(\vec{D}\) has a magnitude of 3 units.
- **Angle**: The angle between \(\vec{C}\) and \(\vec{D}\) is \(140^\circ\).

This diagram illustrates two vectors forming an obtuse angle of 140 degrees. The vectors point away from a common vertex, showing the direction of \(\vec{C}\) substantially deviated from \(\vec{D}\).

#### Diagram 3
- **Vectors**: \(\vec{E}\) and \(\vec{F}\)
- **Magnitudes**: 
  - \(\vec{E}\) has a magnitude of 3 units.
  - \(\vec{F}\) has a magnitude of 4 units.
- **Angle**: The angle between \(\vec{E}\) and \(\vec{F}\) is \(90^\circ\).

In this diagram, the two vectors are perpendicular to each other, illustrating orthogonal direction with a right angle. Vector \(\vec{E}\) points vertically, while Vector \(\vec{F}\) points horizontally.
