A,B,C are the vertices of triangle ...

A , B , C are (00) , (a,1) ,(1,b) respectively

vector AB =  (ai + j)  ,vector AC = (i + bj) & vector BC = ((1-a)i + (b-1)j)

now since the triangle is equilateral so

 magnitude of AB,BC,AC is equal

so , a2 + 1 = b2 +1 ........1

   a2+1 = (1-a)2 + (b-1)2 ...........2

solving these

  a=b =(2-sqrt3)
