Since BCL = 30. we get CBL = 60. 57. (x – 6)2 + (y + 6)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y + 7)2 ...(1)
Since BLC is a right triangle with BCL (x – 3)2 + (y – 3)2 = (x – 3)2 + (y +7)2
= 30, we have BL = BC/2 = BD. Thus in
y2 – 6y + 9 = y2 + 14y + 49
triangle BLD, we observe that BL = BD
and DBL = 60 and ADB = 45, we get – 20y = 40
ADL = 15 put y = –2 in equation (1)

2. Given sin A + cos A = 2 cos A 5

sin A = 2 cos A – cos A 18
sin A = ( 2 – 1) cos A = 15 m/s
tan A = 2 – 1
