Question
Question: If we reduce \(3 x + 3 y + 7 = 0\) to the form \(x \cos \alpha + y \sin \alpha = p\), then the value...
If we reduce 3x+3y+7=0 to the form xcosα+ysinα=p, then the value of p is
A
237
B
37
C
237
D
327
Answer
327
Explanation
Solution
Given equation is 3x+3y+7=0, Dividing both sides by 32+32
⇒ 32+323x+32+323y+32+327=0
⇒ 323x+323y=32−7 , ∴ p=32−7=327.
