if a , b,c are three mutually perpendicular vectors of equal magnitude then prove

Expert Answer:
let θ be the angle between a+b+c and a. then
cos θ = (a+b+c).(a) / |a| |a+b+c|
=a.a/ |a| 3 |a|
=1 / 3
since a ,b c are mutually perpendicular so | a +b+c | will be |a|2 + |b|2 + | c |2 =
3 |a| ( |a| = |b| = |c| )
