The equation of the side of an equilateral triangle is \(x+y=2\) and one vertex is \((2,-1)\). The length of the side is

  1. A \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{3}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given : \(x+y=2\) is equation of a side and \((2,-1)\) is vertex. Since \((2,-1)\) doesn't satisfy \(x+y=2\) \(\therefore \mathrm{It}\) is vertex opposite to the side. Perpendicular distance from \((2,-1)\) to \(x+y=2\) is height of the triangle…
