Consider an equilateral triangle ABC with A (0,3) AD is the height. If G is the centroid and D is the origin, Find the coordinates of B, C, D and G. |

Answer» D is the origin coordinates is (0, 0) (1) G divides AD in the ratio 2 : 1 ∴ Coordinates of G is (0,1) Triangle ADB is a right triangle with 30°, 60°, 90 ∴ BD = \(\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\sqrt{3}\) ∴ Coordinates of B is (–√3, 0) ∴ Coordinates of C is (√3, 0) |
