-
Let the three side vectors of triangle be with magnitudes corresponding to the given vectors:
First, check consistency: So these can indeed be the three sides of a triangle, with
-
Use the centroid identity: For a triangle with centroid , Therefore,
-
Compute the squared lengths of the three sides.
For :
For :
For :
-
Add them:
-
Hence,
So the required integer is
