10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
medium
The product of the lengths of perpendiculars drawn from any point on the hyperbola ${x^2} - 2{y^2} - 2 = 0$ to its asymptotes is
A
$1\over2$
B
$2\over3$
C
$3\over2$
D
$2$
Solution
(b) Given equation is $\frac{{{x^2}}}{2} – \frac{{{y^2}}}{1} = 1$…..$(i)$
Product of length of perpendiculars drawn from any point on the hyperbola $(i)$ to the asymptotes is
$\frac{{{a^2}{b^2}}}{{{a^2} + {b^2}}}= \frac{{2 \times 1}}{{2 + 1}} = \frac{2}{3}$.
