The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem step by step, we will analyze the equations and derive the necessary relationships. ### Step 1: Write down the given equations We have two equations: 1. \( x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha = 2a \) (Equation 1) 2. \( x \cos \beta + y \sin \beta = 2a \) (Equation 2) ### Step 2: Rearranging the equations From Equation 1, we can express \( y \sin \alpha \): \[ y \sin \alpha = 2a - x \cos \alpha \] From Equation 2, we can express \( y \sin \beta \): \[ y \sin \beta = 2a - x \cos \beta \] ### Step 3: Square both sides of the rearranged equations Squaring both sides of the equations we derived: 1. \( (y \sin \alpha)^2 = (2a - x \cos \alpha)^2 \) 2. \( (y \sin \beta)^2 = (2a - x \cos \beta)^2 \) ### Step 4: Expand the squared equations Expanding both equations: 1. \( y^2 \sin^2 \alpha = 4a^2 - 4a x \cos \alpha + x^2 \cos^2 \alpha \) 2. \( y^2 \sin^2 \beta = 4a^2 - 4a x \cos \beta + x^2 \cos^2 \beta \) ### Step 5: Set the equations equal to each other Since both expressions equal \( y^2 \sin^2 \alpha \) and \( y^2 \sin^2 \beta \), we can set them equal: \[ 4a^2 - 4a x \cos \alpha + x^2 \cos^2 \alpha = 4a^2 - 4a x \cos \beta + x^2 \cos^2 \beta \] ### Step 6: Simplify the equation Cancelling \( 4a^2 \) from both sides: \[ -4a x \cos \alpha + x^2 \cos^2 \alpha = -4a x \cos \beta + x^2 \cos^2 \beta \] Rearranging gives: \[ 4a x (\cos \beta - \cos \alpha) = x^2 (\cos^2 \beta - \cos^2 \alpha) \] ### Step 7: Factor the right-hand side Using the identity \( \cos^2 \beta - \cos^2 \alpha = (\cos \beta - \cos \alpha)(\cos \beta + \cos \alpha) \): \[ 4a x (\cos \beta - \cos \alpha) = x^2 (\cos \beta - \cos \alpha)(\cos \beta + \cos \alpha) \] ### Step 8: Cancel common factors Assuming \( \cos \beta \neq \cos \alpha \), we can divide both sides by \( \cos \beta - \cos \alpha \): \[ 4a x = x^2 (\cos \beta + \cos \alpha) \] ### Step 9: Rearranging gives us a relation Rearranging gives: \[ x^2 (\cos \beta + \cos \alpha) - 4a x = 0 \] Factoring out \( x \): \[ x (x (\cos \beta + \cos \alpha) - 4a) = 0 \] ### Step 10: Solve for \( x \) Thus, we have two cases: 1. \( x = 0 \) 2. \( x (\cos \beta + \cos \alpha) = 4a \) ### Step 11: Use the third relation The third relation given is: \[ \frac{2 \sin \frac{\alpha}{2}}{2 \sin \frac{\beta}{2}} = 1 \] Squaring both sides gives: \[ 4 \sin^2 \frac{\alpha}{2} = 4 \sin^2 \frac{\beta}{2} \] Thus, \( \sin^2 \frac{\alpha}{2} = \sin^2 \frac{\beta}{2} \), which implies that \( \alpha = \beta \) or \( \alpha + \beta = 180^\circ \). ### Final Result From the derived equations, we can conclude that: 1. If \( x \neq 0 \), then \( y^2 = 4a(4a - x) \) is a valid relation.
