Let the co-ordinate of third vertex be (x,y)
Now using distance formula
Given, ΔABC is equilateral triangle
∴ AB = AC = BC
Now, AB = AC
On Squaring both sides, we get
(x + 4)2 + (y – 3)2 = (x – 4)2 + (y – 3)2
(x + 4)2 = (x – 4)2
or x2 + 16 + 8x = x2 + 16 – 8x
⇒ 16x = 0
x = 0 ....(1)
AC = BC implies that
On squaring both sides, we get
16 + y2 + 9 – 6y = 64
y2 – 6y – 39 = 0
, as origin lies in the interior of the triangle
