Let z_1 , z_2 , z_3  be three vertices of an  equilateral triangle circumscribing the  circle ∣z∣ = (1/2). If z_1  = (1/2) + (((√3)i)/2) and z_1 ,  z_2 , z_3  are in anticlockwise sense then z_2  is

z_2 =z_1 e^(i2π/3) =e^(iπ/3) .e^(i2π/3) =e^(iπ) =−1 .
$$\mathrm{z}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{z}_{\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i2}\pi/\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\pi/\mathrm{3}} .\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i2}\pi/\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\pi} =−\mathrm{1}\:. \\ $$
