The point equidistant from points (0, 0), (2, 0) and (0, 2) is:
We have A → (0, 0)
B → (2, 0)
C → (0, 2)
Let D (x,y) be equidistant from A, B and C.
We know that distance of a point A (x,y) from origin O (0, 0) is given as OA = ![]()
∴ AD =
…(i)
Using the distance formula,
BD = ![]()
=![]()
=
–––(ii)
CD = ![]()
=
–––(iii)
Since D is equidistant from A, B and C
Equating eq (i) and (ii)
![]()
Squaring both sides
![]()
4y – 4 = 0
y = 1
Equating eq (i) and (iii)
![]()
Squaring both sides
![]()
4x – 4 = 0
x = 1
The required point is D (1, 1).
∴ The correct option is D.
