Let A(x1,y1), B(x2,y2) and C(x3,y3) be the vertices of the triangle ABC.
Consider AB
By midpoint formula, (x1+x2)/2 = 0
x1+x2Â = 0
x1Â = -x2Â ..(i)
By midpoint formula, (y1+y2)/2 = ½
y1+y2 = 1 …(ii)
Consider AC
By midpoint formula, (x1+x3)/2 = ½
x1+x3 = 1 …(iii)
By midpoint formula, (y1+y3)/2 = 0
y1+y3Â = 0
y1 = -y3 …(iv)
Consider BC
By midpoint formula, (x2+x3)/2 = ½
x2+x3 = 1 …(v)
By midpoint formula, (y2+y3)/2 = ½
y2+y3 = 1 …(vi)
Substitute (i) in (iii)
Then (iii) becomes -x2+x3Â = 1
Equation (v) x2+x3Â = 1
Adding above two equations, we get
2x3Â = 2
x3Â = 2/2 = 1
Substitute x3Â = 1 in (iii), we get x1Â = 0
x2Â = 0 [From (i)]
So x1Â = 0, x2Â = 0, x3Â = 1
Substitute (iv) in (ii)
Then (ii) becomes -y3+y2Â = 1
Equation (vi) y2+y3Â = 1
Adding above two equations, we get
2y2Â = 2
y2Â = 2/2 = 1
Substitute y2Â = 1 in (i), we get y1Â = 0
y3Â = 0
So y1Â = 0, y2Â = 1, y3Â = 0
Hence the Co-ordinates of vertices are A(0,0), B(0,1) and C(1,0).
