(A) The equation of the pair of lines passing through the origin and the intersection of $x^2+y^2=4$ and $x+y=a$ is obtained by homogenizing the circle equation using the line equation: $x^2+y^2=4(\frac{x+y}{a})^2$ $a^2(x^2+y^2)=4(x^2+y^2+2xy)$ $(a^2-4)x^2-8xy+(a^2-4)y^2=0$ Since the lines are perpendicular,the sum of the coefficients of $x^2$ and $y^2$ must be zero: $(a^2-4)+(a^2-4)=0$ $2(a^2-4)=0$ $a^2=4$ Since $a>0$,we have $a=2$.
