The angle at which the circle `(x-1)^2+y^2=10 and x^2+(y-2)^2=5` intersect is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `C_(1)-=(1,0` and `r_(1)=sqrt(10)`.
And `C_(2) -= (0,2)` and `r_(2)=sqrt(5)`.
Also, `C_(1)C_(2)=sqrt(1^(2)+2^(2))=sqrt(5)`
If circles intersect at an angle `theta`, then
`cos theta =((C_(1)C_(2))^(2)-r_(1)^(2)r_(2)^(2))/(2r_(1).r_(2))=(5-10-5)/(2.sqrt(10).sqrt(5))=-(1)/(sqrt(2))`
`:. theta =(3pi)/(4)`
