Correct answer: C
- Find the vertices of the given triangle
The sides are on the lines
The vertices are the pairwise intersections.
-
Vertex
From , we get . Substituting into : So,
-
Vertex
Solve Multiply first by and second by : Adding, Then So,
-
Vertex
From , . Substitute into : So,
- Find two altitudes of the triangle
The orthocentre is the intersection of altitudes.
Altitude through
Side lies on , whose slope is . Hence an altitude perpendicular to it has slope .
Through , the altitude is
Altitude through
Side lies on . Its slope is so the perpendicular slope is .
Through , altitude is
- Find the orthocentre of the given triangle
Use the altitude in the second altitude:
Left side: So, Multiply by : Then Thus the orthocentre is
- Find the orthocentre of the triangle formed by , ,
These lines form the triangle with vertices This is a right triangle with right angle at . Hence its orthocentre is the right-angled vertex itself:
- Distance between the two orthocentres
So the required distance is
- Check with options
Option C is So the correct option is C.
