Given data
Center of the circle is Origin is .
Also, is perpendicular to both and .
-
Interpret the perpendicular condition
Since and lie on the circle centered at , the vectors and are radii.
Given both radii are perpendicular to the same line .
Through point , there are exactly two opposite radius directions perpendicular to . Hence and are endpoints of a diameter perpendicular to .
So if the radius is , then
-
Find the length of
-
Use area of triangle
Since , triangle is right-angled at .
Therefore, \text{Area}(\triangle OCP)=\frac{1}{2}\cdot OC\cdot CP=rac{1}{2}\cdot \sqrt{5}\cdot r.
Given area is
Hence,
-
Use midpoint relation for opposite endpoints of a diameter
Since and are diametrically opposite with center , their midpoint is .
Thus,
Also,
-
Required quantity
We need
Let
Since and are opposite endpoints of a diameter,
Therefore,
Adding,
Now,
So,
-
Final answer
