The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the external bisector of angle B in triangle ABC, we will use the equations of the sides AB, BC, and CA given as follows: 1. **Equation of AB**: \(2x - y + 4 = 0\) 2. **Equation of BC**: \(x - 2y - 1 = 0\) 3. **Equation of CA**: \(x + 3y - 3 = 0\) ### Step 1: Identify coefficients from the equations of sides AB and BC From the equation of side AB \(2x - y + 4 = 0\): - \(a_1 = 2\) - \(b_1 = -1\) - \(c_1 = 4\) From the equation of side BC \(x - 2y - 1 = 0\): - \(a_2 = 1\) - \(b_2 = -2\) - \(c_2 = -1\) ### Step 2: Check the sign for the external angle bisector To determine whether to use the positive or negative sign in the angle bisector formula, we calculate \(a_1a_2 + b_1b_2\): \[ a_1a_2 + b_1b_2 = (2)(1) + (-1)(-2) = 2 + 2 = 4 \] Since \(4 > 0\), we will use the positive sign in the angle bisector formula. ### Step 3: Apply the angle bisector formula The formula for the angle bisector is given by: \[ \frac{a_1x + b_1y + c_1}{\sqrt{a_1^2 + b_1^2}} = \frac{a_2x + b_2y + c_2}{\sqrt{a_2^2 + b_2^2}} \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \frac{2x - y + 4}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{x - 2y - 1}{\sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2}} \] Calculating the denominators: \[ \sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 1} = \sqrt{5} \] \[ \sqrt{1^2 + (-2)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5} \] Thus, the equation simplifies to: \[ \frac{2x - y + 4}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{x - 2y - 1}{\sqrt{5}} \] ### Step 4: Clear the denominators Multiplying both sides by \(\sqrt{5}\): \[ 2x - y + 4 = x - 2y - 1 \] ### Step 5: Rearranging the equation Rearranging the equation gives: \[ 2x - y + 4 - x + 2y + 1 = 0 \] \[ x + y + 5 = 0 \] ### Final Result The equation of the external bisector of angle B is: \[ x + y + 5 = 0 \]
