Show that the points
and
form an isosceles triangle.
Let
,
and
be the position vectors corresponding to the vertices A, B and C of ΔABC.

Recall the vector
is given by
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Recall the magnitude of the vector
is given as
![]()
Now, we find the magnitude of
.
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Similarly, the vector
is given by
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Now, we find the magnitude of
.
![]()
![]()
![]()
Similarly, the vector
is given by
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Now, we find the magnitude of
.
![]()

![]()
![]()
Observe that
which means the sides AB and AC of ΔABC are equal in length, making it an isosceles triangle.
Thus, the triangle formed by the given points is isosceles.
