Let B(-4, 3) and C(4, 3) be the given two vertices of an equilateral triangle.
Let A(x, y) be the third vertex.
Then, we have
AB = BC = AC
Consider AB = BC
{tex}\Rightarrow {/tex} AB2 = BC2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} (-4 - x)2 + (3 - y)2 = (4 + 4)2 + (3 - 3)2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex}16 + x2 + 8x + 9 + y2 - 6y = 64
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} x2 + y2 + 8x - 6y = 39 .....(i)
Consider AB = AC
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} AB2 = AC2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} (-4 - x)2 + (3 - y)2 = (4 - x)2 + (3 - y)2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 16 + x2 + 8x = 16 + x2 - 8x
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 16x = 0
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} x = 0
Consider BC = AC
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} BC2 = AC2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} (4 + 4)2 + (3 - 3)2 = (4 - x)2 + (3 - y)2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 82 + 0 = (4 - 0)2 + (3 - y)2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} 64 = 16 + (3 - y)2
(3 - y)2 = 48
3 - y = {tex}\pm 4 \sqrt { 3 }{/tex}
y = 3 {tex} \pm 4 \sqrt { 3 }{/tex}
Thus, the coordinates of third vertex when origin lies in the interior of a triangle = {tex}( 0,3 - 4 \sqrt { 3 } ){/tex}
