sin 2α=(3/5) , cos 2α=(4/5) tan α=(√((1/5)/(9/5))) = (1/3) say radius = 5=r q=(2rcos 2α)cos αtan α q+x=(2rcos 2α)cos αtan 2α x=q+x−q = (10×(4/5)×(3/(√(10))))((3/4)−(1/3)) x = ((24)/(√(10)))×(5/(12)) = (√(10)) .

$$\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{5}}\:,\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{9}/\mathrm{5}}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${say}\:{radius}\:=\:\mathrm{5}={r} \\ $$$${q}=\left(\mathrm{2}{r}\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha\right)\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha \\ $$$${q}+{x}=\left(\mathrm{2}{r}\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha\right)\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha \\ $$$${x}={q}+{x}−{q} \\ $$$$\:\:\:=\:\left(\mathrm{10}×\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}×\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}}\right)\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\right) \\ $$$$\:\:{x}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{24}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}}×\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{12}}\:=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}\:. \\ $$

DB=2×5=10 BC=(√(10^2 −6^2 ))=8 cos 2α=(8/(10))=(4/5)=2 cos^2 α−1 ⇒cos α=(3/(√(10))) ⇒tan α=(1/3) BE=BC×cos α=8×(3/(√(10)))=((24)/(√(10))) AE=BE×tan 2α FE=BE×tan α x=AE−FE=BE×(tan 2α−tan α) =((24)/(√(10)))((3/4)−(1/3))=(√(10))

$${DB}=\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{5}=\mathrm{10} \\ $$$${BC}=\sqrt{\mathrm{10}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{6}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{8} \\ $$$$\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{8}}{\mathrm{10}}=\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\alpha−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${BE}={BC}×\mathrm{cos}\:\alpha=\mathrm{8}×\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}}=\frac{\mathrm{24}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}} \\ $$$${AE}={BE}×\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha \\ $$$${FE}={BE}×\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha \\ $$$${x}={AE}−{FE}={BE}×\left(\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{2}\alpha−\mathrm{tan}\:\alpha\right) \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{24}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{10}}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)=\sqrt{\mathrm{10}} \\ $$
