Show that the points (a, b, c), (b, c, a) and (c, a, b) are the vertices of an equilateral triangle.
Given: Points are A(a, b, c), B(b, c, a) and C(c, a, b)
To prove: the triangle formed by given points is an equilateral triangle
An equilateral triangle is a triangle whose all sides are equal
So we need to prove AB = BC = AC
Formula used:
The distance between any two points (a, b, c) and (m, n, o) is given by,
![]()
Therefore,
The distance between A(a, b, c) and B(b, c, a) is AB,

Clearly,
AB = BC = AC
Thus, Δ ABC is a equilateral triangle
Hence Proved
