उत्तर
Let the vertices be (x, y)
Distance between (x, y) and (4, 3) is = `sqrt((x - 4)^2 + (y - 3)^2)` ...(1)
Distance between (x,y) and (– 4, 3) is = `sqrt((x + 4)^2 + (y - 3)^2)` ...(2)
Distance between (4, 3) and (– 4, 3) is = `sqrt((4 + 4)^2 + (3 - 3)^2) = sqrt(8)^2`= 8
According to the question,
Equation (1) = (2)
(x – 4)2 = (x + 4)2
x2 – 8x + 16 = x2 + 8x + 16
16x = 0
x = 0
Also, equation (1) = 8
(x – 4)2 + (y – 3)2 = 64 ...(3)
Substituting the value of x in (3)
Then (0 – 4)2 + (y – 3)2 = 64
(y – 3)2 = 64 – 16
(y – 3)2 = 48
y – 3 = `(+)4sqrt(3)`
y = `3(+) 4sqrt(3)`
Neglect y = `3(+) 4sqrt(3)` as if y = `3(+) 4sqrt(3)` then origin cannot interior of triangle
Therefore, the third vertex = `(0, 3 - 4sqrt(3))`
