If represent the vertices of an equilateral triangle such that \left|{z}_{1}\right| = \left|{z}_{2}\right| = \left|{z}_{3}\right| then
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Since, ⇒ \left|{z}_{1} - 0\right| = \left|{z}_{3} - 0\right| the given points are equidistant from origin, and we know that the point which is equidistant from the vertices of a triangle is the circumcentre of the triangle.
∴ 0∆ ABC∴ \dfrac{{x}_{1} + {x}_{2} + {x}_{3}}{3} = 0 = \dfrac{{y}_{1} + {y}_{2} + {y}_{3}}{3}{z}_{1} = {x}_{1} + i{y}_{1}⇒ \dfrac{{x}_{1} + {x}_{2} + {x}_{3}}{3} + i\left(\dfrac{{y}_{1} + {y}_{2} + {y}_{3}}{3}\right) = 0⇒ \left({x}_{1} + i{y}_{1}\right) + \left({x}_{2} + i{y}_{2}\right) + \left({x}_{3} + i{y}_{3}\right) = 0⇒ {z}_{1} + {z}_{2} + {z}_{3} = 0 .
