Solution

Point of intersection of altitudes from vertices A and B of triangle is O(0,0)Orthocentre of triangle is O (0,0)Let,P(x,y)be the circumcentre of triangle OP=AP=BPOP2=AP2x2+y2=(xa)2+y2x2=x22ax+a2 a2=2axx=a2 and OP2=BP2x2+y2=(x0)2+(yb)2x2+y2=x2+y22by+b2b2=2by y=b2So,circumcentre =p(a2,b2)Distance between orthocentre O(0,0)~andcircumcentre p(a2,b2) is=(a2)2+(b2)2Required distance=12a2+b2 units.
