Answer :

(b) a = ± √2b Let D be the mid-point of BC. Then D ≡ \(\bigg(rac{a+0}{2},rac{0}{2}\bigg)\)i.e. \(\bigg(rac{a}{2},0\bigg)\)Let E be the mid-point of AC, thenE = \(\bigg(rac{a+0}{2},rac{0+b}{2}\bigg)\) = \(\bigg(rac{a}{2},rac{a}{2}\bigg)\)AD ⊥ BE if slope of AD x Slope of BE = –1       ...(i) Slope of AD = \(rac{0-b}{rac{a}{2}-0}\) = \(rac{-b}{rac{a}{2}}\) = \(rac{-2b}{a}\)Slope of AD = \(\bigg(rac{rac{b}{2}-0}{rac{a}{2}-0}\bigg)\) = \(rac{rac{b}{2}}{rac{a}{2}}\) = \(rac{b}{a}.\)∴ From (i), \(rac{-2b}{a}\) x \(rac{b}{a}\) = -1⇒ 2b2 = a2 ⇒ a = ± √2 .
