Find the coordinates of one vertex of an equilateral triangle with centroid at the origin and the opposite side `x +y-2 =0`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

let the coordinates of triangle be A,B,C respectively.
let D be the perpendicular from A to D having coordinates (h,k) and `(alpha, beta)` respectively
let the centroid be G having coordinates (0,0).
now, G= `((2*alpha+h)/3 , (2*beta+k)/3) `
`2*alpha + h=0` --- eqn(1)
`2*beta+k=0` ------ eqn(2)
`alpha+beta = 2` --- eqn (3)
now, `(k-0)/(h-0)*(-1) = -1`
