let OA=r  CM=(((AG)/2))(√3)  ⇒  ((√3)/2)(rsin θ)=(a/2)   ⇒  rsin θ=(a/( (√3)))  AG=(a/( (√3)))  Now   r+rcos θ=h=(√(((3a^2 )/4)−(a^2 /(12))))  ⇒ h= r+(√(r^2 −(a^2 /3)))=(((√2)a)/( (√3)))  ⇒  ((2a^2 )/3)+r^2 −((2(√2)ar)/( (√3)))=r^2 −(a^2 /3)  ⇒  r=((a(√3))/( 2(√2)))    h−r=rcos θ=(((√2)/( (√3)))−((√3)/(2(√2))))a  sin θ=((2(√2))/3)    D(0, 0, (((√3)a)/(2(√2))))  ;  A(0, (a/( (√3))), −(a/(2(√6))))  B,C≡(∓(a/2), −(a/( 2(√3))), −(a/(2(√6))))  someone at least help  check this...
