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.
