If the position vectors of the vertices of a triangle are A=^i+2^j+2^k,B=2^i+3^j+^k,C=3^i+^j2^k ; Check whether the triangle is equilateral or not.

Solution

A=^i+^2j+^2k

B=^2i+3^j+^k

C=^3i+^j^2k

AB=^i+^j^k=12+12+(1)2=3

BC=^i2^j3^k=12+(2)2+(3)2=14

CA=2^i1^j4^k=22+(1)2+(4)2=21

Lengths of sides of this triangle are not equal.

Hence this triangle is not an equilateral triangle.
