A hint to get started
Reflect a point in a line and calculate the resulting area
Relative to O, A,B have position vectors and . Line passes through B parallel to . Line has Cartesian equation , y=4.
(i) Given are perpendicular, show α=2. marks
(ii) Find the length of projection of BA onto . Hence find vector BN, where N is the perpendicular foot from A onto . marks
(iii) A′ is the reflection of A in , and C makes AA′CB a parallelogram. Find its exact area. marks
