Question Image

It is given that △ABC is an equilateral triangle, where the co-ordinates are A(−1,0) and B(1,0) respectively and the third vertex , say C, lies above the X-axis, C will lie on the Y-axis, as Y-axis is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB.

Let the co-ordinates of C be (0,k).
Length of side AB=2 units.

∴ Length of AC should also be 2 units

AB=AC 4=1+k2 k=±3 k=3(k>0)

3rd vertex, C=(0, 3)
For an equilateral triangle circumcentre = centroid = 0,13

and radius of circle=(1)2+(13)2=23
circumcircle is 

(x0)2+y132=232 3(x2+y2)-2y-3=0
