Question 1

The point A A\,A has the position vector (ab2)\begin{pmatrix} a \\ b \\ 2 \end{pmatrix}​ab2​​ where a a\,a and b b\,b are positive constants, point B B\,B has the position vector (533)\begin{pmatrix} 5 \\ 3 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}​533​​ and point C C\,C has the position vector (311)\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}​311​​. ABC ABC\,ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB=ACAB = ACAB=AC.
