Suppose A(z1), B(z2) and C(z3) are vertices of a triangle lying on the unit circle |z| = 1. AD is altitude of the ∆ABC meeting the unit circle in E.
  1. orthocentre of ABC is z1 + z2 + z3
  2. affix of E is –z2z3/z1
  3. if z12 = z2z3 and z22 = z3z1, then ABC is equilateral
  4. if z2 + z3 = 0, then ABC is a right angled.

Answer

(A) orthocentre of ∆ ABC is z 1 + z 2 + z 3, (B) affix of E is –z 2 z 3 /z 1, (C) if z 1 2 = z 2 z 3 and z 2 2 = z 3 z 1 , then ∆ ABC is equilateral, (D) if z 2 + z 3 = 0, then ∆ ABC is a right angled.
