If one vertex of an equilateral triangle of side $'a'$ lies at the origin and the other lies on the line $x - \sqrt{3} y = 0$ then the co-ordinates of the third vertex are :

$(0, a)$

$\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 \,a}}{2}\,\,,\,\, - \,\frac{a}{2}} \right)$

$(0, - a)$

all of the above

Solution

make a figure and interpret

Slope of the line $x=\sqrt{3} y$ is $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ which is $30^{\circ}$ with the positive $x$ -axis. As it is an equilateral triangle the other vertex must be on $x=-\sqrt{3} y$

Let the side be $(x, y)$. Hence, $x^{2}+y^{2}=a^{2}$

$4 y^{2}=a^{2}$

$y=\pm \frac{a}{2}$

similarily, $x=\pm \frac{\sqrt{3} a}{2}$

Hence, if the triangle lies in the 1 st quadrant and 4 th quadrant vertex is $\left(\frac{\sqrt{3} a}{2},-\frac{a}{2}\right)$

If the triangle lies in the 2 nd and 3 rd quadrant the vertex is $\left(-\frac{\sqrt{3} a}{2},-\frac{a}{2}\right)$

One side of a square is inclined at an acute angle $\alpha$ with the positive $x-$axis, and one of its extremities is at the origin. If the remaining three vertices of the square lie above the $x-$axis and the side of a square is $4$, then the equation of the diagonal of the square which is not passing through the origin is

The equations of two sides $\mathrm{AB}$ and $\mathrm{AC}$ of a triangle $\mathrm{ABC}$ are $4 \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}=14$ and $3 \mathrm{x}-2 \mathrm{y}=5$, respectively. The point $\left(2,-\frac{4}{3}\right)$ divides the third side $\mathrm{BC}$ internally in the ratio $2: 1$. The equation of the side $\mathrm{BC}$ is :
