If the circles x^2+y^2-2 x-2 y-7=0 and x^2+y^2+4 x+2 y+k=0 cut orthogonally, then the length of their common chord is units
Options
- A2
- B5
- C6 13
- D12 13
Correct answer
D. 12 13
Step-by-step solution
Since the given circles x^2+y^2-2 x-2 y-7=0 and x^2+y^2+4 x+2 y+k=0 cut orthogonally, then (-2)(2)+(-2)(1)=k-7 -4-2=k-7 k=1 So, equation of common chord is 6 x+4 y+8=0 3 x+2 y+4=0 Length of the chord, A B=2(A M) x^2+y^2-2 x-2 y-7=0 aligned & =2 A C^2-C M^2 & =2 9- (3+2+4)^2 9+4 & =2 117-81 13 =2 36 13 = 12 13 units aligned
