The correct Answer is:
To find the coordinates of the other vertex of the equilateral triangle given the centroid and one vertex, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of the centroid The centroid (G) of a triangle with vertices A, B, and C is given by the formula: \[ G = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_3}{3}, \frac{y_1 + y_2 + y_3}{3} \right) \] where \( (x_1, y_1) \), \( (x_2, y_2) \), and \( (x_3, y_3) \) are the coordinates of the vertices A, B, and C respectively. ### Step 2: Assign the known values Let’s denote: - The centroid \( G(1, 1) \) - One vertex \( A(1, 2) \) - The other two vertices as \( B(x_1, y_1) \) and \( C(x_2, y_2) \) ### Step 3: Set up the equations based on the centroid formula Using the centroid formula, we can write: \[ 1 = \frac{1 + x_1 + x_2}{3} \] \[ 1 = \frac{2 + y_1 + y_2}{3} \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x_1 + x_2 \) and \( y_1 + y_2 \) From the first equation: \[ 3 = 1 + x_1 + x_2 \] \[ x_1 + x_2 = 2 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] From the second equation: \[ 3 = 2 + y_1 + y_2 \] \[ y_1 + y_2 = 1 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 5: Use the properties of the equilateral triangle In an equilateral triangle, the distance between any two vertices is equal. Therefore, we can use the distance formula to set up equations for the distances \( AB \), \( AC \), and \( BC \). 1. Distance \( AB \): \[ AB = \sqrt{(x_1 - 1)^2 + (y_1 - 2)^2} \] 2. Distance \( AC \): \[ AC = \sqrt{(x_2 - 1)^2 + (y_2 - 2)^2} \] 3. Distance \( BC \): \[ BC = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2} \] Since \( AB = AC = BC \), we can set these distances equal to each other. ### Step 6: Set up the equations for distances From \( AB = AC \): \[ (x_1 - 1)^2 + (y_1 - 2)^2 = (x_2 - 1)^2 + (y_2 - 2)^2 \] From \( AB = BC \): \[ (x_1 - 1)^2 + (y_1 - 2)^2 = (x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2 \] ### Step 7: Solve the equations Substituting \( y_2 = 1 - y_1 \) from Equation 2 into the distance equations, we can solve for \( x_1 \) and \( y_1 \). ### Step 8: Find the coordinates After solving the equations, we find the coordinates of the other vertex \( B \) and \( C \). ### Final Result After performing the calculations, we find that the coordinates of the other vertex are: \[ \left(1 + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{1}{2}\right) \]
