The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the coefficients of the lines given by the equation \( lx \pm my \pm n = 0 \) and the area of the rhombus formed by these lines. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Lines**: The lines given are \( lx - my - n = 0 \), \( lx - my + n = 0 \), \( lx + my - n = 0 \), and \( lx + my + n = 0 \). These lines will intersect to form a rhombus. 2. **Find the Vertices of the Rhombus**: To find the vertices of the rhombus, we can set \( y = 0 \) in the equations: - For \( lx - my - n = 0 \): \( x = \frac{n}{l} \) - For \( lx - my + n = 0 \): \( x = -\frac{n}{l} \) - The vertices on the x-axis are \( \left(-\frac{n}{l}, 0\right) \) and \( \left(\frac{n}{l}, 0\right) \). Now, set \( x = 0 \): - For \( lx + my - n = 0 \): \( y = \frac{n}{m} \) - For \( lx + my + n = 0 \): \( y = -\frac{n}{m} \) - The vertices on the y-axis are \( \left(0, -\frac{n}{m}\right) \) and \( \left(0, \frac{n}{m}\right) \). 3. **Calculate the Lengths of the Diagonals**: The lengths of the diagonals \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \) of the rhombus are: - \( D_1 = \frac{2n}{l} \) (distance between the points on the x-axis) - \( D_2 = \frac{2n}{m} \) (distance between the points on the y-axis) 4. **Area of the Rhombus**: The area \( A \) of the rhombus can be calculated using the formula: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times D_1 \times D_2 \] Substituting the values of \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \): \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times \left(\frac{2n}{l}\right) \times \left(\frac{2n}{m}\right) = \frac{2n^2}{lm} \] 5. **Set the Area Equal to 2**: We are given that the area of the rhombus is 2 square units: \[ \frac{2n^2}{lm} = 2 \] Simplifying this equation: \[ n^2 = lm \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the relationship we find is: \[ n^2 = lm \]
