The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the radius \( r \) of a circle that passes through the origin and touches the line \( x + y = 2 \) at the point \( (1, 1) \). Once we find \( r \), we will calculate \( 3\sqrt{2}r \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - The circle passes through the origin \( (0, 0) \). - The circle touches the line \( x + y = 2 \) at the point \( (1, 1) \). 2. **Find the Slope of the Line:** - The equation of the line can be rewritten as \( y = -x + 2 \). - The slope \( m_1 \) of this line is \( -1 \). 3. **Find the Slope of the Line from the Origin to the Point of Tangency:** - The slope \( m_2 \) of the line connecting the origin \( (0, 0) \) and the point \( (1, 1) \) is calculated as: \[ m_2 = \frac{1 - 0}{1 - 0} = 1 \] 4. **Determine the Relationship Between the Slopes:** - Since the line \( x + y = 2 \) is tangent to the circle at \( (1, 1) \), and the line from the origin to \( (1, 1) \) is perpendicular to the tangent line, we have: \[ m_1 \times m_2 = -1 \quad \text{(the product of slopes of perpendicular lines)} \] - This confirms that \( -1 \times 1 = -1 \). 5. **Find the Length of the Diameter:** - The distance \( AB \) (where \( A \) is the origin \( (0, 0) \) and \( B \) is the point of tangency \( (1, 1) \)) can be calculated using the distance formula: \[ AB = \sqrt{(1 - 0)^2 + (1 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2} \] - Since \( AB \) is the diameter of the circle, we have: \[ D = \sqrt{2} \] 6. **Calculate the Radius:** - The radius \( r \) is half of the diameter: \[ r = \frac{D}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \] 7. **Calculate \( 3\sqrt{2}r \):** - Now we substitute \( r \) into the expression \( 3\sqrt{2}r \): \[ 3\sqrt{2}r = 3\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 3 \cdot \frac{2}{2} = 3 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( 3\sqrt{2}r \) is \( 3 \).
