Detailed Solution

Let the vertices B and C lie on the given line. Then, OD=222=2 (perpendicular distance from origin=ca2+b2)

 Let equation od OD be y=mx,  since slope is perpendicular to x+y=22  is 1, equation is x=y solving the two equations we get D (2,2)=

 Also, BD=OD×tan60=23 for the coordinates of B and C . 

Slope of the given line is -1, slope of OD is 1 ,hence angle of inclination is 450

Using parametric equation of line, we get 

    x21/2=y21/2=±23 or     C(2+6,26) and     B(26,2+6)
