Answer:
Yes, as it is equilateral triangle.
Areas=
- (1/2)×a^2
- (1/2)×a^2
- (1/2)×-(√3×a)^2
Answer:
Given=A(a,a),B(-a,-a),C(-√3a,√3a)
To prove=All sides are equal{AB=BC=CA)
d(AB)=√{(-a-a)^2+(-a-a)^2}
=√{(-2a)^2+(-2a)^2}
=√{(4a^2)+(4a^2)}
=√{8a^2 }
=2√2aunits ----(equation 1)
d(BC)=√{(-√3a+a)^2+(√3a+a)^2}
=√{a^2+3a^2-2√3a^2)+(3a^2+a^3+2√3a^2)}
=√{4a^2+4a^2}
=√(8a^2)
=2√2aunits -----(equation 2)
d(CA)=√{(a+√3a)^2+(a-√3a)^2}
=√{a^2+3a^2+2√3a^2+a^2+3a^2-2√3a^2}
=√{4a^2+4a^2}
=√(8a^2)
=2√2a^2units ----(equation 3)
from equation 1, 2 and 3
AB=BC=CA
Hence, It is an equilateral triangle
Side=2√2acm
Area of equilateral triangle=(√3)(a^2)/4
={(√3)(2√2cm)^2}/4
={(√3)(8cm^2)}/4
=2√3cm^2
