Mathematics Question on Circle

Circle in 1st quadrant touches both the axes at A & B. If length of perpendicular from P(α,β)P(α, β) on circle to chord AB is equal to 11. Find α.βα.β

Answer

C : (x - r)2 + (y-r)2 = r2;
α2 + β2 - 2r(α + β) + r2 = 0
Circle in 1st quadrant touches both the axes at A & B
α2 + β2 - 2r(112\sqrt{2} + r) + r2 = 0
α2 + β2 - 222\sqrt{2}r - r2 = 0
PF = α+βr2\frac{α+β-r}{\sqrt{2}} = 11
α + B = 112\sqrt{2} + r
α2 + β2 + 2αβ = 242 + r2 + 22r2\sqrt{2}
αβ = 121

So, the answer is 121.
