Answer:
C(3√3 ,0) and C(−3√3 ,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the third vertex of the equilateral ΔABC be C(x,y)
So by distance formula we have,
Distance between two points = √(x 2 −x 1 ) ^2+(y 2 −y1 ) ^2
∴BC= √(0−0)^ 2 +(3+3)^2 = √6^2 = √36 = 6
∴AB= √(x−0) ^2 +(y+3) ^2
⇒AB ^2 =x^2 +y^2 +2y=27 -----(1)
Now, AC= √(x−0) ^2 +(y−3) ^2
⇒AC^2 =x^2 +y^2 +9−6y = 36
⇒27−2y−6y+9=36⇒−8y=36−36
⇒y=0
∴x^2 =27
⇒x = √27 = √ 3×3×3 x = + 3√3 or−3√3
∴ Required points are C(3√3 ,0) and C(−3√3 ,0)
