Solution
We have an equilateral triangle ΔABC whose co-ordinates are A (0, 0); B ` ( 3 ,sqrt(3))" and " C (3 , λ )` .
Since the triangle is equilateral. So,
`AB^2 = Ac^2`
So,
`(3 - 0)^2 + (sqrt(3) - 0)^2 = (3 - 0)^2 + (lambda - 0)^2`
Cancel out the common terms from both the sides,
Therefore,
`lambda = sqrt(3)`
