If the point P(x.y) be equidistant from the points A(a+b,b-a) and B(a-b,a+b), the prove that bx=ay.

Dear chanchal ,

i suggest simply apply hero's formula and use PA= PB or PA2 = PB2

x-(a+b)2 + y -(b-a)2 = x-(a-b)2 + y -(a+b)2

solving we get bx =ay. i don't think there is a need of doing angles equal or other method when this works perfectly.

ans   if pts r equidistant then distance between them is equal

      AP2 =  BP2  u can prove that       

    OR,

    if P is equidistant from A or B

   x=1(a+b) + 1(a-b)/2 =  a. ----1)

   y=1(a+b) + 1(b-a)/2 = b.  ----2)

THEN DIVIDE 1) and 2)...

  x/y=a/b =>bx=ya  HENCE PROVED..Smile
