Urgent....
If a,b,c are three vectors of equal magnitude and mutually perpendicular to each other , show that a+b+c is equally inclined to a, b,c.
Please help me soon,.......................
thank you

a=b=c  and a.b =b.c =c.a=0......(i)Let α be angle between a+b +c and acos α= a.(a+b +c ) aa+b +c=a.a+a.b +a.c aa+b +c= a aa+b +c........(ii)(Using (i))Similarly,let β and γ be  angles between a+b +c and b ,c  respectively,thencos β= b aa+b +c....(iii) cos γ= c aa+b +c....(iv)From (i) ,(ii),(iii) and (iv),cos α =cos β=cos γ α = β= γ
