For B

cos

y x
= r + 2
or B [(r + 2) cos + 2, (r + 2) sin + 3]
A and B lie on the lines y + 2x = 5 and y + 2x = 3, respectively
r sin + 3 + 2(r cos + 2) = 5
and (r + 2) sin + 3 + 2[(r + 2) cos + 2] = 3
Solving both we get
2 sin + 4 cos = 2
sin
2
= ( 1 2cos )

cos (5cos + 4 ) = 0
cos = 0, then sin = 1
