The angle between the diagonals of a qua...

The angle between the diagonals of a quadrilateral formed by the lines `x/a+y/b=1,x/b-y/a=1,` is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `x/a + y/b = 1 …(i)` with slope, `m_1 = -b/a`
`x/a – y/b = 1 …(ii)` with slope, `m_2 = b/a`
We know the angle between two lines `tan theta = |(m_2 – m_1)/(1 + m_1m_2)| `
