उत्तर

Let A (1, 2, 3) , B (2, 3, 1) and C (3, 1, 2) are the coordinates of the triangle \[\bigtriangleup ABC\]

AB =\[\sqrt{\left( 2 - 1 \right)^2 + \left( 3 - 2 \right)^2 + \left( 1 - 3 \right)^2}\]

\[= \sqrt{\left( 1 \right)^2 + \left( 1 \right)^2 + \left( - 2 \right)^2}\]
\[ = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 4}\]
\[ = \sqrt{6}\] 

BC =\[\sqrt{\left( 3 - 2 \right)^2 + \left( 1 - 3 \right)^2 + \left( 2 - 1 \right)^2}\] 

\[= \sqrt{\left( 1 \right)^2 + \left( - 2 \right)^2 + \left( 1 \right)^2}\]
\[ = \sqrt{1 + 4 + 1}\]
\[ = \sqrt{6}\] 
 AC =\[\sqrt{\left( 3 - 1 \right)^2 + \left( 1 - 2 \right)^2 + \left( 2 - 3 \right)^2}\]
\[= \sqrt{\left( 2 \right)^2 + \left( - 1 \right)^2 + \left( - 1 \right)^2}\]
\[ = \sqrt{4 + 1 + 1}\]
\[ = \sqrt{6}\]
Now, AB = BC = AC

Therefore, it is an equilateral triangle.
