The length of each side of equilateral triangle is
Suppose
Let QR be the base along the y axis, and O be the origin with vertices
It is clear that the coordinate of point Q is
Now, for an equilateral triangle,the line joining themid-pointof any side with its opposite vertex is always perpendicular to that side.
It is given that the line passing through the mid-point is
Apply Pythagoras theorem in triangle
Substitute the values of PQ and OQ in the above formula.
Further simplify for the value of PO.
The coordinate of point P is
The coordinate of point P is either
The two possible equilateral triangles
Thus, the obtained vertices of triangle with side
