Let the coordinate of the point is A(3,0).

equidistant from the three vertices

0(0, 0), A(0, 2y) and B(2x, 0) is P(h, k)

Then, PO = PA = PB

  PO2 = PA2 =  PB2            (i)

By distance formula,

(h0)2+(k0)22

  = (h 0)2+(k2y)22

   =(h2x)2+k0)22

 h2 + k2 = h2 + (k – 2y)2

      = (h – 2x)2 + k2                       (ii)

Taking first two equations, we get

 = h2 + k2 = h2 + (k – 2y)2

k2 = k2 + 4y2 – 4yk  4y(y –k) = 0

    y = k

Taking First and third equations, we get

h2 + k2 = (h – 2x)2 + k2

  h2 = h2 + 4x2 –4xh

 4x(x – h) = 0

    x = h

 Required points = (h, k) = (x, y)
