Solution

let the vertices of the triangleABC be represented by z1,z2,z3 then by the rotation in anti clock about A , B , we get
AC=ABeπi/3,,BA=ACeπi/3,
(z3z1)=(z2z1)eπi/3(z1z2)=(z3z2)eπi/3
z3z1z2z1=z2z1z3z1[z3z1][z2z1]=[z2z1] 2orz12+z22+z32=z1z2+z2z3+z3z1Now for the an equiliteral traingle , circumceral is the same as the centrid so that
z0=z1+z2+z3=/3or9z09=z12+z22+z32z1z2+z2z3+z3z1=2z1z2+2z2z3+2z3z1
=3z02=3z1z2+3z2z3+3z3z1
