A(5,0) and B(0,8)are two vertices of triangle OAB.
What is the equation of the bisector of angle 0AB
If E is the point of intersection of this bisector
and the line through A and B, find the co-ordinate:
of E. Hence show that OA:OB= AE:EB

Respuesta :

The equation of the bisector of angle OAB is y=x

If E is the point of intersection of this bisector and line through A and B then the co-ordinates of E is (40/3,40/3)

Since E is the point of intersection of the bisector of angle OAB and line A and B  hence we can say OA:OB=AE:EB

Since point O is the origin hence we can say the co-ordinates of point O are (0,0) and the angle bisector of the angle OAB makes and angle of 45 degree from x axis, So by the formula of Line passing through origin (y= mx )

where ,

∅=angle made by the bisector the angle OAB to the x axis(i.e. 45 degree)

m=tan∅

now using substitution method ,

m=tan45

m=1

the equation of the bisector of angle OAB is  y=x

Now, the equation of the line passing through point A(5,0) and point B(0,8) by formula,

(y-y1)={(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)}*(x-x1)

here , y1=0, x1=5, y2=8, x2=0

again by substitution method,

(y-0)={(8-0)/(0-5)}*(x-5)

y={8/-5}*(x-5)

8x - 5y = 40

point E is the intersection of 8x - 5y = 40 and y=x the solving these two equations by substitution method we get;

x=40/3

y=40/3

the co-ordinates of point E are  (40/3,40/3)

E is the intersection point of the bisector of the angle OAB and the line through point A and B ,

on comparing triangle OEA and triangle OEB we can say that,

OA:OB= AE:EB
