The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the triangle formed by the given lines and determine the nature of the angles and the equations of the angle bisectors. ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the lines The equations of the lines forming the triangle are: 1. Line AB: \( x + y - 5 = 0 \) 2. Line BC: \( x + 7y - 7 = 0 \) 3. Line CA: \( 7x + y + 14 = 0 \) ### Step 2: Find the slopes of the lines To find the slopes, we can rewrite each equation in the slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \). 1. For line AB: \[ y = -x + 5 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{slope } m_1 = -1 \] 2. For line BC: \[ 7y = -x + 7 \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{1}{7}x + 1 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{slope } m_2 = -\frac{1}{7} \] 3. For line CA: \[ y = -7x - 14 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{slope } m_3 = -7 \] ### Step 3: Determine the nature of the angles Using the slopes, we can find the angles of the triangle using the tangent of the angles formed by the lines. - The tangent of the angle between two lines with slopes \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) is given by: \[ \tan(\theta) = \left| \frac{m_1 - m_2}{1 + m_1 m_2} \right| \] #### Angle A (between lines AB and CA) Using \( m_1 = -1 \) and \( m_3 = -7 \): \[ \tan(A) = \left| \frac{-1 - (-7)}{1 + (-1)(-7)} \right| = \left| \frac{6}{8} \right| = \frac{3}{4} \] #### Angle B (between lines AB and BC) Using \( m_1 = -1 \) and \( m_2 = -\frac{1}{7} \): \[ \tan(B) = \left| \frac{-1 - (-\frac{1}{7})}{1 + (-1)(-\frac{1}{7})} \right| = \left| \frac{-1 + \frac{1}{7}}{1 + \frac{1}{7}} \right| = \left| \frac{-\frac{6}{7}}{\frac{8}{7}} \right| = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4} \] #### Angle C (between lines BC and CA) Using \( m_2 = -\frac{1}{7} \) and \( m_3 = -7 \): \[ \tan(C) = \left| \frac{-\frac{1}{7} - (-7)}{1 + (-\frac{1}{7})(-7)} \right| = \left| \frac{\frac{48}{7}}{2} \right| = \frac{24}{7} \] ### Step 4: Determine the nature of each angle - Since \( \tan(A) = \frac{3}{4} \) and \( \tan(B) = \frac{3}{4} \), both angles A and B are acute. - Since \( \tan(C) = \frac{24}{7} \), angle C is obtuse. ### Step 5: Find the angle bisectors 1. **Internal Angle Bisector of Angle B**: The internal angle bisector can be found using the formula for the angle bisector between two lines: \[ \text{Internal bisector of } B: \quad 3x + 6y - 16 = 0 \] 2. **External Angle Bisector of Angle C**: The external angle bisector can be found similarly: \[ \text{External bisector of } C: \quad 8x + 8y + 7 = 0 \] ### Conclusion - Angle A is acute. - Angle B is acute. - Angle C is obtuse. - The internal angle bisector of angle B is \( 3x + 6y - 16 = 0 \). - The external angle bisector of angle C is \( 8x + 8y + 7 = 0 \).

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the triangle formed by the given lines and determine the nature of the angles and the equations of the angle bisectors. ### Step 1: Identify the equations of the lines The equations of the lines forming the triangle are: 1. Line AB: \( x + y - 5 = 0 \) 2. Line BC: \( x + 7y - 7 = 0 \) 3. Line CA: \( 7x + y + 14 = 0 \) ...
