Solution
Let the vertices of the triangle be A(z),B(iz),C(z+iz).
We know that iz is obtained by rotating OA through an angle 90∘.
From the diagram, OA=OB=BC=AC,∠O=90∘
Hence OABC will be a square
From Argand diagram, it is clear that
Area of △ABC = Area of △OAB =12×OA×(OB)[∵it is right angled at point O] =12|z|×|iz| =12|z|2=2 sq. unit
