Answer:
Given PQR is an equilateral triangle in which Q(0,2) and R(0,−2).
Let (x,0) be the coordinates of P. [∵P lies on x axis. So y-coordinate is zero.]
PQ=PR=QR=2+2=4
OQ=2 [from figure]
In POQ,
PQ
2 =OP
2 +OQ
2 [Pythagoras theorem]
4 2 =OP
2+2 2
OP
2 =4 2 −2 2
OP
2=16−4
OP
2 =12
OP=√(4×3)=2√3
Hence the coordinates of P are (2√3,0).

Answer:
APQR is an equilateral triangle
⇒ PQ = PR = QR
⇒ PQ = QR
→ PQ = 4
OQ = 2
In right triangle POQ, OP² + 0Q² = PQ2 |By Pythagoras Theorem OP² + (2)² = (4)2
⇒ OP = 2√2
⇒ P = (0,2√3)
