In a ∆ABC, suppose y=x is the equation of the bisector of the angle B and the equation of the side AC is 2x−y=2. If 2AB=BC and the point A and B are respectively (4,6) and (α,β), then α+2β is equal to
Options
A−4
B42
C2
D−1
Correct answer
B. 42
Step-by-step solution
Given: Line AC:2x−y=2andBD:x=y.
Line ACandBD intersects at point D.
⇒2x−x=2
⇒x=y=2
⇒D≡(2,2)</p><p>Weknowthat,byanglebisectortheorem, the angle bisector of a triangle divides the base in the same ratio as the other two sides.
