Question

An equilateral triangle has on vertex at the origin, another on the x-axis, and the third in the quadrant. find the slope of each side

Answer 1

0, - 1.732 , 1.732

Explanation:

The slope of the line is the angle of the tangent from the positive X axis in counter clock wise direction.

The slope of line AB is

tan 180 = 0

The slope of line BC is

tan 300 = - 1.732

The sloe of line AC is

tan 240 = 1.732
