Since, a, b and c are coplanar, there must exists three scalars x, y and z are not all zero such that
xa + yb + zc = 0 ...(i)
Multiplying both sides of Eq. (i) by a and b respectively, we get
xa . a + ya . b + za . c = 0 ...(ii)
xb . a + yb . b + zb . c = 0 ...(ii)
Eliminating x, y and z from Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii), we get
