Question:
(0,0) and (root3,root3) are two vertices of an equilateral triangle. Find the third one.
Answer:

Two vertices of an equilateral triangle are (0, 0) and (3, √3)

Let the third vertex of the equilaterla triangle be (x, y)

Distance between (0, 0) and (x, y) = Distance between (0, 0) and (3, √3) = Distance between (x, y) and (3, √3)

√(x2 + y2 ) = √(32 + 3) = √[(x - 3)2 + (y - √3)2 ]

√(x2 + y2 ) = 12 = √[(x - 3)2 + (y - √3)2 ]

x2 + y2 = 12

x2 + 9 - 6x + y2 + 3 - 2√3y = 12

24 -  6x - 2√3y = 12

- 6x - 2√3y = - 12

3x + √3y = 6

x = (6 - √3y) / 3

=> [(6 - √3y)/3]2 + y2 = 12

=> (36 + 3y2 - 12√3y) / 9 + y2 = 12

=> 36 + 3y2 - 12√3y + 9y2 = 108

=> - 12√3y + 12y2 - 72 = 0

=> -√3y + y2 - 6 = 0

=> (y - 2√3)(y + √3) = 0

=> y = 2√3 or -√3

If y = 2√3, x = (6 - 6) / 3 = 0

If y = -√3, x = (6 + 3) / 3 = 3

So, the third vertex of the equilateral triangle = (0, 2√3) or (3, -√3)
