Detailed Solution

Give that ax + by + P = 0 &  x cos α+y sinα = P
Are inclined at an angle  π/4
i.e.,  tan π4 = -ab+cosαsinα1+a cosαbsin α
a cos α + b sin α = - a sin α + b cos α (1)  
And also given ax + by + P = 0, x cos α + y sin α-P=0 ,
 x sin α - y cos α = 0 are concurrent
We get a cos α + b sinα = -1 (2)
From (1) and (2) , we get
 - a sin α + b cos α = -1 (3)
From (2) & (3) , we get
a2 + b2 = 2
