Consider a triangle having vertices A(−2,3),B(1,9)andC(3,8).A ( - 2, 3 ) , B ( 1, 9 ) and C ( 3, 8 ) . If a line LL passing through the circum-centre of triangle ABC,ABC, bisects line BC,BC, and intersects yy-axis at point (0,α2),\left(0, \dfrac{\alpha}{2}\right), then the value of real number α\alpha is _______.Consider a triangle having vertices A ( - 2, 3 ) , B ( 1, 9 ) and C ( 3, 8 ) . If a line L passing through the

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

We have,

Consider a triangle having vertices A ( - 2, 3 ) , B ( 1, 9 ) and C ( 3, 8 ) . If a line L passing through the

AB=(−2−1)2+(3−9)2=45AB = \sqrt{{\left(- 2 - 1\right)}^{2} + {\left(3 - 9\right)}^{2}} = \sqrt{45}

AC=(−2−3)2+(3−8)2=50AC = \sqrt{{\left(- 2 - 3\right)}^{2} + {\left(3 - 8\right)}^{2}} = \sqrt{50}

BC=(3−1)2+(8−9)2=5BC = \sqrt{{\left(3 - 1\right)}^{2} + {\left(8 - 9\right)}^{2}} = \sqrt{5}

Here,

AC2=AB2+BC2A{C}^{2} = A{B}^{2} + B{C}^{2}

⇒(50)2=(45)2+(5)2⇒ ( \sqrt{50}{)}^{2} = ( \sqrt{45}{)}^{2} + ( \sqrt{5}{)}^{2}

Hence, ∠B=90°∠ B = 90 °, so circumcentre is the mid-point of hypotenuse i.e., ACAC.

Circumcenter ≡(12,112)≡ \left(\dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{11}{2}\right)

Mid-point of BC=(2,172)BC = \left(2, \dfrac{17}{2}\right)

Equation of line LL is

\left(y - \dfrac{11}{2}\right) = \left(\dfrac{\dfrac{11}{2} - \dfrac{17}{2}}{\dfrac{1}{2} - 2}\right)\left(x - \dfrac{1}{2}\right)</p><p></p><p>⇒ y = 2x + \dfrac{9}{2}</p><p>Passingthough(0,α2)</p><p>Passing though \left(0, \dfrac{\alpha}{2}\right), so

α2=92⇒α=9\dfrac{\alpha}{2} = \dfrac{9}{2} ⇒ \alpha = 9
