Coordinate Geometry Question 88

Question: If the coordinates of vertices of $ \Delta OAB $ are (0,0) $ (\cos \alpha ,\sin \alpha ) $ and $ (-\sin \alpha ,\cos \alpha ) $ respectively, then $ OA^{2}+OB^{2}= $

Options:

A) 0

B) 1

C) 2

D) 3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ OA^{2}={{\cos }^{2}}\alpha +{{\sin }^{2}}\alpha =1 $ and $ OB^{2}={{\sin }^{2}}\alpha +{{\cos }^{2}}\alpha =1 $ .

Hence $ OA^{2}+OB^{2}=1+1=2 $ .
