Find the coordinates of the vertices of ...

Find the coordinates of the vertices of `a` square inscribed in the triangle with vertices `A(0,0),B(3,0)a n dC(2,1);` given that two of its vertices are on the side `A Bdot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let co-ordinates of P are `(x_1​,0) `and side of square is 'a' so `Q(x_1​+a,0),S(x_1​,a) R(x_1​+a,a)`
Now, `m_AS​=m_AC`(slope are equal)
⇒`​a/(x_1)​=1/2​⇒x_1​=2a `......(1)
`m_BR​=m_BC`
​ ⇒`a/(x_1​+a−3)​=−1⇒x_1​+2a−3=0 ......(2)`
