Detailed Solution

given ${(z + a b)}^{3} = a^{3}$

$\Rightarrow z + a b = a {(1)}^{1 / 3}$

$\Rightarrow z + a b = a, z + a b = a w, z + a b = a w^{2}$

$∴ Z_{1} = a - a b, Z_{2} = a w - a b$ $Z_{3} = a w^{2} - a b$

Where $w = \frac{- 1 + \sqrt{3} i}{2}, w^{2} = \frac{- 1 - \sqrt{3} i}{2}$

Now $Z_{1} - Z_{2} = a [1 - w]$

$= a [\frac{3}{2} - \frac{i \sqrt{3}}{2}]$

$\Rightarrow |Z_{1} - Z_{2}| = \sqrt{3} | a |$

similarly $| Z_{2} - Z_{3} | = | Z_{3} - Z_{1} | = \sqrt{3} a$
