Question
The distance between two parallel lines is 1.A point 'A' is chosen to lie between the lines at a distance 'd' from the first line. Triangle ABC is an eqilateral triangle with 'B" on one line and 'C' on the other line.Then AB is equal to(in terms of d).
Joshi sir comment
In triangle BCX
BC = seca
so AB = seca
now in triangle ABY
cos(60+a) = d/seca
so 1/2 cosa - √3/2 sina = d cosa
or tana = (1-2d)/√3
now calculate seca
