From the point $(-1,-1)$, two rays are sent making angles of $45^{\circ}$ with the line $x+y=0$. These rays get reflected from the mirror $x+2 y=1$. If the equations of the reflected rays are $\mathrm{a} x+\mathrm{b} y=9$ and $c x+d y=7, a, b, c, d \in \mathbf{Z}$, then the value of $a d+b c$ is $\_\_\_\_$ .
Explanation:
Line $x+y=0$ has slope $-1$. If a ray has slope $m$ and makes an angle $45^{\circ}$ with this line, then by the angle formula between two lines we use:
$\tan 45^{\circ} = \left|\frac{m+1}{1-m}\right|$
Now $\tan 45^{\circ}=1$, so we get:
$\rightarrow \pm 1 = \frac{m+1}{1-m}$
Solving this gives two possible directions. One solution gives a horizontal line ($m=0$), and the other corresponds to a vertical line (perpendicular to the $x$-axis).
$\rightarrow m = 0$ & one line is perpendicular to x axis.
Both rays start from $(-1,-1)$, so the two incident rays are:
$L_1$: $x=-1$, $L_2$: $y=-1$
Next, each ray reflects from the mirror line $x+2 y=1$. To get the reflected ray, we take the mirror image of the incident line in the mirror.
First, take the mirror image of $x+1=0$ in $x+2y=1$.
Now taking mirror image of $x+1=0$ in $x+2y=1$
$A': \frac{x+1}{1} = \frac{y+1}{2} = \frac{-2(-1-2-1)}{1^2+2^2}$
From this, we get the image point:
$x=\frac{3}{5}, y=\frac{11}{5} \qquad A'\left(\frac{3}{5}, \frac{11}{5}\right)$
So the corresponding reflected line is written as:
line $= 3x-4y+7=0$
Similarly, take the mirror image of $y+1=0$ in $x+2y=1$.
Now taking mirror image of $y+1=0$ in $x+2y=1$
$A'': \frac{x+1}{1} = \frac{y+1}{2} = \frac{-2(-1-2-1)}{1^2+2^2}$
This again gives:
$x=\frac{3}{5}, y=\frac{11}{5}$
$A''\left(\frac{3}{5}, \frac{11}{5}\right)$
Now write the equation of the reflected line using point-slope form:
line :
$ (y+1)=\frac{\left(\frac{11}{5}+1\right)}{\left(\frac{3}{5}-3\right)}(x-3) $
Simplifying gives one reflected ray as:
$4x+3y=9$
Compare $4x+3y=9$ with $\mathrm{a}x+\mathrm{b}y=9$. Then:
comparing $4x+3y=9$ with $ax+by=9$ &
$a=4$, $b=3$
The other reflected ray is written as:
by line
$-3x+4y=7$
Compare $-3x+4y=7$ with $cx+dy=7$. Then:
comparing with
$cx+dy=7$
$\therefore c=-3$, $d=4$
Now calculate $ad+bc$:
So, $ad+bc$
$= 4 \times 4 + 3 \times (-3)$
$= 16-9=7$
Let $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ be points on the two half-lines $x-\sqrt{3}|y|=\alpha, \alpha>0$ at a distance of $\alpha$ from their point of intersection $P$. The line segment $A B$ meets the angle bisector of the given half-lines at the point $Q$. If $P Q=\frac{9}{2}$ and $R$ is the radius of the circumcircle of $\triangle \mathrm{PAB}$, then $\frac{\alpha^2}{R}$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$
Explanation:
The two half-lines are given by
$ x-\sqrt{3}|y|=\alpha,\qquad \alpha>0 $
We will first understand their geometry.
1. Find the two half-lines and their point of intersection
Since $|y|$ is present, we split into two cases:
Case 1: $y \ge 0$
$ x-\sqrt{3}y=\alpha $
Case 2: $y \le 0$
$ x+\sqrt{3}y=\alpha $
These are two lines meeting at the point $P$.
To find their intersection, put $y=0$ in either equation:
$ x=\alpha $
So,
$ P=(\alpha,0) $
Thus the two half-lines start from $P$ and go outward along these two lines.
2. Find points $A$ and $B$
Points $A$ and $B$ lie on these two half-lines and are each at distance $\alpha$ from $P$.
Let $A$ be on the upper line $x-\sqrt{3}y=\alpha$ and $B$ on the lower line $x+\sqrt{3}y=\alpha$.
The slope of the upper line is
$ y=\frac{x-\alpha}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} $
So this line makes angle $30^\circ$ with the positive $x$-axis.
Similarly, the lower line makes angle $-30^\circ$ with the positive $x$-axis.
Hence the angle between the two half-lines is
$ 60^\circ $
Since $PA=\alpha$ and $PB=\alpha$, the points are obtained by moving distance $\alpha$ from $P=(\alpha,0)$ along directions $\pm 30^\circ$.
Therefore,
$ A=\left(\alpha+\alpha\cos30^\circ,\ \alpha\sin30^\circ\right) $
$ B=\left(\alpha+\alpha\cos30^\circ,\ -\alpha\sin30^\circ\right) $
Using $\cos30^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ and $\sin30^\circ=\frac12$,
$ A=\left(\alpha+\frac{\sqrt{3}\alpha}{2},\ \frac{\alpha}{2}\right) $
$ B=\left(\alpha+\frac{\sqrt{3}\alpha}{2},\ -\frac{\alpha}{2}\right) $
3. Find the angle bisector and point $Q$
The figure is symmetric about the $x$-axis, so the angle bisector of the two half-lines is the positive $x$-axis.
Also, $A$ and $B$ have the same $x$-coordinate, so $AB$ is a vertical segment.
Hence $AB$ meets the $x$-axis at
$ Q=\left(\alpha+\frac{\sqrt{3}\alpha}{2},\ 0\right) $
So,
$ PQ = \left(\alpha+\frac{\sqrt{3}\alpha}{2}\right)-\alpha = \frac{\sqrt{3}\alpha}{2} $
Given that
$ PQ=\frac92 $
therefore,
$ \frac{\sqrt{3}\alpha}{2}=\frac92 $
So,
$ \sqrt{3}\alpha=9 $
$ \alpha=\frac{9}{\sqrt{3}}=3\sqrt{3} $
Hence,
$ \alpha^2 = (3\sqrt{3})^2=27 $
4. Find circumradius $R$ of $\triangle PAB$
In $\triangle PAB$,
$ PA=PB=\alpha $
and the included angle
$ \angle APB=60^\circ $
So the triangle is actually equilateral, because
$ AB^2=\alpha^2+\alpha^2-2\alpha^2\cos60^\circ =2\alpha^2-\alpha^2 =\alpha^2 $
Thus,
$ AB=\alpha $
Hence $\triangle PAB$ is equilateral with side $\alpha$.
For an equilateral triangle of side $a$, circumradius is
$ R=\frac{a}{\sqrt{3}} $
So here,
$ R=\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{3}} $
Using $\alpha=3\sqrt{3}$,
$ R=\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}=3 $
5. Compute $\dfrac{\alpha^2}{R}$
$ \frac{\alpha^2}{R}=\frac{27}{3}=9 $
Therefore, the required value is
$ \boxed{9} $
Let a be the length of a side of a square OABC with O being the origin. Its side OA makes an acute angle $\alpha $ with the positive x-axis and the equations of its diagonals are $(\sqrt{3}+1)x+(\sqrt{3}-1)y=0$ and $(\sqrt{3}-1)x-(\sqrt{3}+1)y+8\sqrt{3}=0$. Then $a$2 is equal to :

Let the triangle PQR be the image of the triangle with vertices $(1,3),(3,1)$ and $(2,4)$ in the line $x+2 y=2$. If the centroid of $\triangle \mathrm{PQR}$ is the point $(\alpha, \beta)$, then $15(\alpha-\beta)$ is equal to :
Let the distance between two parallel lines be 5 units and a point $P$ lie between the lines at a unit distance from one of them. An equilateral triangle $P Q R$ is formed such that $Q$ lies on one of the parallel lines, while R lies on the other. Then $(Q R)^2$ is equal to _________.
Explanation:
We set up a coordinate system so that the two parallel lines are given by
$ y = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad y = 5, $
since their distance is 5 units. Choose point
$ P = (0,1) $
so that the distance from $P$ to the line $y=0$ is 1 unit (and its distance to the line $y=5$ is 4 units).
Let point
$ Q = (a,0) $
be on the line $y = 0$, and let point
$ R = (b,5) $
be on the line $y = 5$. Since triangle $PQR$ is equilateral with side length $s$, we require:
$ PQ = PR = QR = s. $
A convenient method is to “rotate” $Q$ about $P$ by an angle of $60^\circ$ to obtain $R$. In complex-number (or vector) terms, if we translate so that $P$ is at the origin, then the rotation is given by
$ e^{i60^\circ} = \cos 60^\circ + i \sin 60^\circ = \frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}. $
Thus, writing $Q$ in vector form relative to $P$, we have
$ Q - P = (a, -1). $
Rotating this by $60^\circ$ gives
$ R - P = \left(a\cos60^\circ - (-1)\sin60^\circ,\; a\sin60^\circ + (-1)\cos60^\circ\right). $
Substituting the values $\cos60^\circ = \frac{1}{2}$ and $\sin60^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, we obtain
$ \begin{aligned} R - P &= \left(\frac{a}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},\; \frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\right), \\ \text{so} \quad R &= \left( \frac{a+\sqrt{3}}{2},\; 1 + \frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \right) = \left( \frac{a+\sqrt{3}}{2},\; \frac{a\sqrt{3}+1}{2} \right). \end{aligned} $
Since $R$ lies on $y = 5$, its $y$-coordinate must equal 5:
$ \frac{a\sqrt{3}+1}{2} = 5. $
Solve for $a$:
$ \begin{aligned} a\sqrt{3} + 1 &= 10, \\ a\sqrt{3} &= 9, \\ a &= \frac{9}{\sqrt{3}} = 3\sqrt{3}. \end{aligned} $
Now, the side length $s$ (which is the distance $PQ$) is given by
$ \begin{aligned} s^2 &= PQ^2 = \left(3\sqrt{3} - 0\right)^2 + \left(0 - 1\right)^2 \\ &= (3\sqrt{3})^2 + 1^2 \\ &= 27 + 1 \\ &= 28. \end{aligned} $
Thus, the square of side $QR$ is
$ (QR)^2 = s^2 = 28. $

If $l=\mathrm{OP}^2+\mathrm{PQ}^2+\mathrm{QO}^2$, then the greatest integer less than or equal to $l$ is :
