Options
- A2
- B5
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
Let ABC be an equilateral triangle with orthocenter at the origin O(0,0) and side BC on the line .
Since :
\left(-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\right)\left(\frac{\beta}{\alpha}\right) = -1 \Rightarrow \beta = 2\sqrt{2}\alphaOD = \frac{|-4|}{\sqrt{1+8}} = \frac{4}{3}AO = \frac{8}{3}AD = \frac{4}{3} + \frac{8}{3} = 4\frac{|\alpha + 2\sqrt{2}\beta - 4|}{3} = 4 \Rightarrow \alpha = \frac{16}{9}-\frac{8}{9} and O(0,0) lie on the same side of BC (origin gives ), we need .
