Question

If (0,0), (a, 2), (2, b) form the vertices of an equilateral triangle, where a and b not lie between 0 and 2, then the value of 4(aplusb)‐ab equals

  1. 4    
  2. -4    
  3. 2    
  4. 8    

The correct answer is: 4


    capital delta A B C, where A left parenthesis 00 right parenthesis comma B left parenthesis a comma blank 2 right parenthesis comma C left parenthesis 2 comma blank b right parenthesis blankis equilateral.
    equals succeeds a to the power of 2 end exponent plus 4 equals b to the power of 2 end exponent plus 4 equals left parenthesis a minus 2 right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent plus left parenthesis b minus 2 right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent
    equals a to the power of 2 end exponent equals b to the power of 2 end exponent and b to the power of 2 end exponent minus 4 a minus 4 b plus 4 equals 0
    if a equals negative b comma b to the power of 2 end exponent minus 4 a minus 4 b plus 4 equals 0 equals b to the power of 2 end exponent plus 4 equals 0 a equals b
    equals b to the power of 2 end exponent minus 8 b plus 4 equals 0 equals b equals 4 plus-or-minus 2 square root of 3 equals a
    Let a equals b equals 4 plus 2 square root of 3
    4 blank left parenthesis a plus b right parenthesis minus a b equals 4 left parenthesis 8 plus 4 square root of 3 right parenthesis minus left parenthesis 4 plus 2 square root of 3 right parenthesis to the power of 2 end exponent equals 4
    Similarly a equals b equals 4 minus 2 square root of 3 also equals 4 left parenthesis a plus b right parenthesis minus a b equals 4

    So here we used the concept of the triangles, and the equations of the lines to solve this problem. We know that the equation of a straight line in slope-intercept form is given as y = mx+c, so we used that here. So the equation of the third side is x + 3y - 1 = 0.
