The measure of the acute angle between the lines given by the equation $3 x^{2}-4 \sqrt{3} x y+3 y^{2}=0$ is

The measure of the acute angle between the lines given by the equation $3 x^{2}-4 \sqrt{3} x y+3 y^{2}=0$ is
  1. $45^{\circ}$
  2. $60^{\circ}$
  3. $70^{\circ}$
  4. $30^{\circ}$

Solution

Comparing $3 x^{2}-4 \sqrt{3} x y+3 y^{2}=0$, with $a x^{2}+2 h x y+b y^{2}=0$, we get $\mathrm{a}=3, \mathrm{~h}=-2 \sqrt{3}, \mathrm{~b}=3$ We know that, $\tan \theta=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{h^{2}-a b}}{a+b}\right|$ $\therefore \tan \theta=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{12-9}}{3+3}\right|=\left|\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{6}\right|=\left|\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right|$ $\therefore \quad \theta=30^{\circ}$
