Let the line L_1 : x + 3 = 0 intersect the lines L_2 : x - y = 0...
Let the line intersect the lines and at the points and , respectively. Let the bisector of the obtuse angle between the lines and intersect the line at the point . Then is equal to:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
The intersection point of and is .
The intersection point of and is .
The lines and intersect at the origin .
The distances from the origin to and are:
The angle between the segments and can be determined using the dot product of vectors and :
Since the dot product is negative, , which means is an obtuse angle. Therefore, the internal bisector of is the bisector of the obtuse angle between the lines and .
According to the internal angle bisector theorem in , the bisector of divides the opposite side at point in the ratio of the adjacent sides:
Squaring both sides yields:
Thus, .
