The correct Answer is:
To find the possible locations of the inspection bungalow that is at a distance of 100 meters from each of the roads represented by the equations \(y - x = 6\) and \(x + y = 8\), we will use the formula for the perpendicular distance from a point to a line. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the equations of the roads:** - The first road is given by the equation \(y - x = 6\). - The second road is given by the equation \(x + y = 8\). 2. **Rearranging the equations:** - The first equation can be rearranged to the standard form: \(x - y + 6 = 0\). - The second equation can be rearranged to: \(x + y - 8 = 0\). 3. **Using the distance formula:** The distance \(d\) from a point \((h, k)\) to a line given by \(Ax + By + C = 0\) is given by: \[ d = \frac{|Ah + Bk + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}} \] 4. **Calculate the distance from the first road:** For the first road \(x - y + 6 = 0\) (where \(A = 1, B = -1, C = 6\)): \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{|1 \cdot h - 1 \cdot k + 6|}{\sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{|h - k + 6|}{\sqrt{2}} \] Setting this equal to 100: \[ \frac{|h - k + 6|}{\sqrt{2}} = 100 \] Thus, we have: \[ |h - k + 6| = 100\sqrt{2} \] This gives us two equations: \[ h - k + 6 = 100\sqrt{2} \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ h - k + 6 = -100\sqrt{2} \quad \text{(2)} \] 5. **Calculate the distance from the second road:** For the second road \(x + y - 8 = 0\) (where \(A = 1, B = 1, C = -8\)): \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{|1 \cdot h + 1 \cdot k - 8|}{\sqrt{1^2 + 1^2}} = \frac{|h + k - 8|}{\sqrt{2}} \] Setting this equal to 100: \[ \frac{|h + k - 8|}{\sqrt{2}} = 100 \] Thus, we have: \[ |h + k - 8| = 100\sqrt{2} \] This gives us two equations: \[ h + k - 8 = 100\sqrt{2} \quad \text{(3)} \] \[ h + k - 8 = -100\sqrt{2} \quad \text{(4)} \] 6. **Solving the equations:** We now have four equations to solve: - From (1) and (3): \[ h - k + 6 = 100\sqrt{2} \quad \text{and} \quad h + k - 8 = 100\sqrt{2} \] Adding these: \[ 2h - 2 = 200\sqrt{2} \implies h = 100\sqrt{2} + 1 \] Substituting \(h\) back into (1) gives: \[ 100\sqrt{2} + 1 - k + 6 = 100\sqrt{2} \implies k = 7 \] Thus, one possible location is \((100\sqrt{2} + 1, 7)\). - From (1) and (4): \[ h - k + 6 = 100\sqrt{2} \quad \text{and} \quad h + k - 8 = -100\sqrt{2} \] Adding these: \[ 2h - 2 = -100\sqrt{2} \implies h = -50\sqrt{2} + 1 \] Substituting \(h\) back into (1) gives: \[ -50\sqrt{2} + 1 - k + 6 = 100\sqrt{2} \implies k = 7 + 50\sqrt{2} \] Thus, another possible location is \((-50\sqrt{2} + 1, 7 + 50\sqrt{2})\). - Similarly, we can find other combinations from (2) and (3) and (2) and (4) to find: - \((1, 7 + 100\sqrt{2})\) - \((1, 7 - 100\sqrt{2})\) 7. **Final possible locations:** The possible locations for the bungalow are: - \((1, 7 + 100\sqrt{2})\) - \((1, 7 - 100\sqrt{2})\) - \((100\sqrt{2} + 1, 7)\) - \((-100\sqrt{2} + 1, 7)\)
