One side of a square makes an angle alph...

One side of a square makes an angle `alpha` with x axis and one vertex of the square is at origin. Prote that the equations of its diagonals are `x(sin alpha+ cos alpha) =y (cosalpha-sinalpha)` or `x(cos alpha-sin alpha) + y (sin alpha + cos alpha) = a`, where a is the length of the side of the square.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let,`/_XOA=alpha` and `OA=a`
So coordinates of A `(acosalpha,asinalpha)`
And,
`/_XOB=45+alpha `and `OB=OB=sqrt(2)` a
Similarly, coordiantes of B (`sqrt(2) ...
