Detailed Solution

Length of x intercept is 2g2c=2a24c=22a24c=8Length of y intercept is 2f2c=2a2c=25a2c=5From the above two eqautions 3c=3c=1a2=4a=2,a<0equation of the circle is x2+y22x4y1=0,center 1,2 radius is 1+4+1=6Equation of any line perpendicular to the line x+2y=0 is 2x-y+k=0This is tangent to the above circle, Hence, 6=2-2+k5k=30Therefore, the equation of tangent is 2x-y+30=0The perpendicular distance from origin to the above line is 305=6
