Let \(O\) be the origin, the point \(A\) be \({z}_{1}=\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{2}i\), the point \(B({z}_{2})\) be such that \(\sqrt{3}\left|z_2\right|=\left|z_1\right|\) and \(\arg \left(z_2\right)=\arg \left(z_1\right)+\frac{\pi}{6}\). Then
\(ABO\) is an obtuse angled isosceles triangle
\(\left|{z}_{1}\right|=\sqrt{3+8}=\sqrt{11}\)
Then, \(\left|{z}_{2}\right|=\sqrt{11}/\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{11/3}\)
In \(△ABO,\) (where is the origin),
sides are \(OA=\sqrt{11}\)
and \(OB=\sqrt{11/3}\)
The angle
\(∠AOB=\left|\text{arg}\left({z}_{2}\right)−\text{arg}\left({z}_{1}\right)\right|=\frac{\pi }{6}\)
Using cosine rule for
\(A{B}^{2}=O{A}^{2}+O{B}^{2}−2\left(OA\right)\left(OB\right)\)
\(\text{cos}\left(\frac{\pi }{6}\right)=11+\frac{11}{3}−2\left(\sqrt{11}\right)\left(\sqrt{\frac{11}{3}}\right)\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)\)
\(=11+\frac{11}{3}−11=\frac{11}{3}\)
Thus, \(AB=\sqrt{11/3}=OB\)
The triangle is isosceles.
Check for obtuse angle:
\(O{A}^{2}=11,\)
\(O{B}^{2}+A{B}^{2}=\frac{11}{3}+\frac{11}{3}=\frac{22}{3}\approx 7.33\)
\(∵O{A}^{2}>O{B}^{2}+A{B}^{2}\), the angle at B is obtuse.
ABO is an obtuse angled isosceles triangle.
