Problem

Complex numbers and are zeros of a polynomial and The points corresponding to and in the complex plane are the vertices of a right triangle with hypotenuse Find
Solution
By Vieta's formula, the sum of the roots is equal to 0, or . Therefore, . Since the centroid of any triangle is the average of its vertices, the centroid of this triangle is the origin.

Without loss of generality, let the right angle be at Let and The magnitudes of , , and are just of the medians because the origin, or the centroid in this case, cuts the median in a ratio of .

Hence, because is two thirds of the median from . Similarly, Furthermore, Hence, Thus,
Final answer
375
