$A$ square with each side of length $a$ lies above the $x$-axis and has one vertex at the origin. One of the sides passing through the origin makes an angle $\alpha$ $(0 < \alpha < \frac{\pi}{4})$ with the positive direction of the $x$-axis. Find the equations of the diagonals of the square.

  • A
    $y(\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha) = x(\sin \alpha + \cos \alpha)$
  • B
    $y(\cos \alpha + \sin \alpha) = x(\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha)$
  • C
    $y(\sin \alpha + \cos \alpha) + x(\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha) = a$
  • D
    $y(\cos \alpha - \sin \alpha) + x(\cos \alpha + \sin \alpha) = a$
