Find the third vertex of equilateral triangle, Mathematics

Assignment Help:

If two vertices of an equilateral triangle are (0, 0) and (3, 0), find the third vertex. [Ans: 3/2 , 3/√ 3/2  or 3/2, -3√ 3/2]

Ans:    OA = OB = AB

OA2 = OB2 = AB2

OA2 = (3-0)2 + 0 = 9

OB2 = x2 + y2

AB2 = (x-3)2 + y2 = x2 + y2 - 6x + 9

OA2 = OB2 = AB2

OA2 = OB2 & OB2 = AB2

9 = x2 + y2 ⇒ y2 = 9 - x2

x2 + y2 - 6x + 9 = 9

x2 + 9-x2 - 6x + 9 = 9

6x = 9              x= 3/2

y2 = 9 - (3/2)2 = 9-9/4 = 36-9/4=27/4

y =      ± 3√3/2 

∴ Third vertex is (3/2,3√3/2) or (3/2, -3√3/2)
