1. **Stating the problem:**
We are given two lines:
$$y = \sqrt{3}x$$
and
$$y = -\sqrt{3}x + 6$$
We need to find:
- The intersection points $A$ of these two lines.
- The intersection point $B$ of the line $y = -\sqrt{3}x + 6$ with the x-axis.
- The distances $OA$, $OB$, and $AB$, where $O$ is the origin $(0,0)$.
2. **Finding point A (intersection of the two lines):**
Set the two equations equal since at $A$ both $y$ values are the same:
$$\sqrt{3}x = -\sqrt{3}x + 6$$
Add $\sqrt{3}x$ to both sides:
$$\sqrt{3}x + \sqrt{3}x = 6$$
$$2\sqrt{3}x = 6$$
Divide both sides by $2\sqrt{3}$:
$$x = \frac{6}{2\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6}{2\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6\sqrt{3}}{2 \times 3} = \frac{6\sqrt{3}}{6} = \sqrt{3}$$
Substitute $x = \sqrt{3}$ into $y = \sqrt{3}x$:
$$y = \sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{3} = 3$$
So, point $A$ is:
$$A(\sqrt{3}, 3)$$
3. **Finding point B (intersection of $y = -\sqrt{3}x + 6$ with x-axis):**
At the x-axis, $y=0$, so:
$$0 = -\sqrt{3}x + 6$$
Solve for $x$:
$$\sqrt{3}x = 6$$
$$x = \frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{6\sqrt{3}}{3} = 2\sqrt{3}$$
So, point $B$ is:
$$B(2\sqrt{3}, 0)$$
4. **Calculating distances:**
- Distance $OA$ from origin $O(0,0)$ to $A(\sqrt{3}, 3)$:
$$OA = \sqrt{(\sqrt{3} - 0)^2 + (3 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{3 + 9} = \sqrt{12} = 2\sqrt{3}$$
- Distance $OB$ from origin $O(0,0)$ to $B(2\sqrt{3}, 0)$:
$$OB = \sqrt{(2\sqrt{3} - 0)^2 + (0 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = \sqrt{12} = 2\sqrt{3}$$
- Distance $AB$ between points $A(\sqrt{3}, 3)$ and $B(2\sqrt{3}, 0)$:
$$AB = \sqrt{(2\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3})^2 + (0 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(\sqrt{3})^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{3 + 9} = \sqrt{12} = 2\sqrt{3}$$
**Final answers:**
- $A(\sqrt{3}, 3)$
- $B(2\sqrt{3}, 0)$
- $OA = OB = AB = 2\sqrt{3}$
