Can some one show me the solution for the following question from Cambridge book

let z1,z2 and z3 be three complex numbers with modulus 1. prove that |z1z2+z1z3+z2z3| = |z1+z2+z3|

Call them a,b,c instead for simplicity. A few things of note:

Also,

So,

To be honest, we don't need to use the fact that the conjugate is the reciprocal here, but it just made typesetting easier. The key is to use the fact that



then expand and equate

|z1+z2+z3| = |conj(z1+z2+z3)|
Since mod 1, conj is 1/z_n, |z1+z2+z3| = |1/z1 + 1/z2 + 1/z3|
Multiply RHS by |z1||z2||z3| = 1,
|z1+z2+z3| = |z1z2+z1z3+z2z3|
