10-1.Circle and System of Circles
normal
The angle at which the circles $(x - 1)^2 + y^2 = 10$ and $x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 5$ intersect is
A
$\frac{\pi }{6}$
B
$\frac{\pi }{4}$
C
$\frac{\pi }{3}$
D
$\frac{\pi }{2}$
Solution

$cos\theta=\frac{{10 + 5 – 5}}{{2\,\cdot\,\sqrt {10} \,\cdot\,\sqrt 5 }}$ $ = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$
$\Rightarrow\theta =$$\frac{\pi }{4}$
