⇝G I V E N:-
↣Three coordinates of a triangles are (p,p) (-p,-p) and (p√3,-p√3)
⇝T O P R O V E:-
↣The coordinates of vertices of triangle are of equilateral triangle
⇝S O L U T I O N:-
Let A=(p,p) ,B=(-p,-p) and C=(p√3,-p√3)
Now , using distance formula we will find the distance between :-
↣A to B
⇢AB=√(-p-p)²+(-p-p)²
⇢AB=√(-2p)²+(-2p²)
⇢AB=√4p²+4p²
⇢AB=√8p²
↣B to C
⇢BC=√(p√3+p)²+(-p√3+p)²
⇢BC=√(3p²+p²+2×p√3×p)+(3p²+p²-2×p√3×p)
⇢BC=√4p²+2p²√3+4p²-2p²√3
⇢BC=√4p²+4p²
⇢BC=√8p²
↣A to C
⇢AC=√(p√3-p)²+(-p√3-p)²
⇢AC=√(3p²+p²-2×p√3×p)+(3p²+p²+2×p√3×p)
⇢AC=√4p²-2p²√3+4p²+2p²√3
⇢AC=√4p²+4p²
⇢AC=√8p²
Here we can see that AB=BC=AC ,since all sides are equal.
∴ These given vertices are of an equilateral triangle.
Hence,proved
