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,
=
=
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)
