Solution
Circle is (5, 3), 2 AB being parallel to y = x + 3 makes 45∘ with x-axis so that AC will make 45∘ + 45 ∘ =90 ∘ with x-axis ∴ $\dfrac {x \, - \, 5 }{cos ^{\circ}}$
=y−3sin90o
=2,−2forC,A
∴nx=5,y=3+2or3−2
∴ (5 , 5 ) and (5 , 1) are two vertices C and A . DB will make an angle of 0∘ with x - axis
