Question
Prove that the triangle formed by joining the three points whose coordinates are (1, 2, 3), (2, 3, 1) and (3, 1, 2) is an equilateral triangle.
✓

Answer

Let the triangle formed be $\triangle\text{ABC}$

$\text{(AB)}=\sqrt{(1-2)^2+(2-3)^2+(3-1)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(2)^2}$

$=\sqrt{6}\text{ units}$

$\text{BC}=\sqrt{(2-3)^2+(3-1)^2+(1-2)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(2)^2+(-1)^2}$

$=\sqrt{6}\text{ units}$

$\text{AC}=\sqrt{(1-3)^2+(2-1)^2+(3-2)^2}$

$=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(1)^2+(1)^2}$

$=\sqrt{6}\text{ units}$

since, AB = BC = CA

So, $\triangle\text{ABC}$ is an equilateral $\triangle$
