Question

Let A(6,8),B(10cosα,10sinα)\mathrm{A}(6,8), \mathrm{B}(10 \cos \alpha,-10 \sin \alpha) and C(10sinα,10cosα)\mathrm{C}(-10 \sin \alpha, 10 \cos \alpha), be the vertices of a triangle. If L(a,9)L(a, 9) and G(h,k)G(h, k) be its orthocenter and centroid respectively, then (5a3h+6k+100sin2α)(5 a-3 h+6 k+100 \sin 2 \alpha) is equal to ___________.

Answer: 2

Solution

All the three points A,B,CA, B, C lie on the circle x2+y2=100x^2+y^2=100 so circumcentre is (0,0)(0,0) a+03=ha=3h and 9+03=kk=3 also centroid 6+10cosα10sinα3=h10(cosαsinα)=3h6.... (i)\begin{aligned} & \frac{a+0}{3}=h \Rightarrow a=3 h \\ & \text { and } \frac{9+0}{3}=k \Rightarrow k=3 \\ & \text { also centroid } \frac{6+10 \cos \alpha-10 \sin \alpha}{3}=h \\ & \Rightarrow 10(\cos \alpha-\sin \alpha)=3 h-6\quad\text{.... (i)} \end{aligned}  and 8+10cosα10sinα3=k10(cosαsinα)=3k8=98=1.... (ii) on squaring 100(1sin2α)=1100sin2α=99 from equ. (i) and (ii) we get h=73 Now 5a3h+6k+100sin2α=15h3h+6k+100sin2α=12×73+18+99=145\begin{aligned} &\begin{aligned} & \text { and } \frac{8+10 \cos \alpha-10 \sin \alpha}{3}=\mathrm{k} \\ & \Rightarrow 10(\cos \alpha-\sin \alpha)=3 \mathrm{k}-8=9-8=1 \quad\text{.... (ii)}\\ & \text { on squaring } 100(1-\sin 2 \alpha)=1 \\ & \Rightarrow 100 \sin 2 \alpha=99 \end{aligned}\\ &\text { from equ. (i) and (ii) we get } \mathrm{h}=\frac{7}{3}\\ &\begin{aligned} & \text { Now } 5 a-3 h+6 k+100 \sin 2 \alpha \\ & =15 h-3 h+6 k+100 \sin 2 \alpha \\ & =12 \times \frac{7}{3}+18+99 \\ & =145 \end{aligned} \end{aligned}
