Let the lines and be normal to a circle . If the line is tangent to the circle C, then the value of is equal to ____.
Answer: 816
Solution
The center of the circle is at the intersection of the two normals:
Solving: multiply the first by 2:
Subtract the second: , so
Substituting back:
So the center is .
The radius is the perpendicular distance from the center to the tangent :
Therefore:
