**Figure 1 Explanation:**
The figure shows a triangular arrangement of three charges and their distances:
- A positive charge of \(1.0 \, \text{nC}\) is located at the top-left vertex of the triangle.
- A negative charge of \(-2.0 \, \text{nC}\) is located at the bottom-left vertex of the triangle.
- Another positive charge of \(1.0 \, \text{nC}\) is located at the bottom-right vertex of the triangle.
The distances between these charges are as follows:
- The distance between the positive charge \(1.0 \, \text{nC}\) at the top-left and the negative charge \(-2.0 \, \text{nC}\) at the bottom-left is \(3.0 \, \text{cm}\).
- The distance between the negative charge \(-2.0 \, \text{nC}\) at the bottom-left and the positive charge \(1.0 \, \text{nC}\) at the bottom-right is also \(3.0 \, \text{cm}\).
- The distance between the positive charge \(1.0 \, \text{nC}\) at the top-left and the positive charge \(1.0 \, \text{nC}\) at the bottom-right is likewise \(3.0 \, \text{cm}\).
**Diagram:**

```
All distances (3.0 cm) are shown as dashed lines connecting the charges.
**Notes:**
- To calculate the electric potential energy, consider the interactions between all pairs of charges.
- Use the formula for electric potential energy between two point charges:
\[
