Geometry with complex numbers. Equilateral triangle.

121 Views Asked by At

I have to do such a question:

Let ABC be a triangle, whose vertices A, B, C correspond to the complex numbers α, β, γ (the origin is not necessarily at one of the vertices), respectively. Let $ ω = e^{2πi/3 } $.

(a) Prove that $ α+ωβ +ω^2γ = 0 $ or $ α+ω^2β +ωγ = 0 $ if △ABC is equilateral.

(b) Prove that △ABC is equilateral if $ α+ωβ +ω^2γ = 0 $ or $ α+ω^2β +ωγ = 0 $.

I understand the main idea of rotating the vertices of the triangle by angles that are multiples of $ 60^{\circ}$ and to somehow end up at the position that I started with. However, I still can't figure out how to properly construct that equation for it to be equal to $ 0 $.

Any hints?

HINT 1

Knowing that multiplying a vector by $\omega$ rotates that vector anticlockwise by $\frac{2\pi}{3}$, the triangle is equilateral with $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ in anticlockwise order if and only if $$\gamma-\beta=(\beta-\alpha)\omega$$

Whereas the triangle is equilateral with $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ in clockwise order if and only if $$(\gamma-\beta)\omega=\beta-\alpha$$

HINT 2

$\omega^3=1$ and $1+\omega+\omega^2=0$
