Solution

This exercise involves complex numbers and geometric properties in the complex plane. Let's break it down step by step.

Given Points:

  • A(a)A(a), B(b)B(b), C(c)C(c), and D(d)D(d) with affixes: a=2i,b=12i,c=3i,d=22+i(2+2)a = 2 - i, \quad b = 1 - 2i, \quad c = -3i, \quad d = \sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2} + i(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2})

Questions Analysis:

  1. Calculate distances

    • Use the Euclidean distance formula in the complex plane: d(A,B)=ab=(2i)(12i)d(A, B) = |a - b| = |(2 - i) - (1 - 2i)| Similarly, compute OAOA, OBOB, and ODOD.
  2. Determine the nature of triangle OABOAB

    • Use the computed distances to check if OABOAB is isosceles, right, or equilateral.
  3. Show that A,B,CA, B, C are collinear and verify AC=2ABAC = 2AB

    • Check if the vectors ABAB and BCBC are proportional.
  4. Show that O,E(1+i),F(1i),H(2)O, E(1+i), F(1-i), H(2) are concyclic

    • Compute their distances from a common center or verify the perpendicular bisectors.
