Assertion: The distance between the points $P(\frac{\pi}{4})$ and $P(\frac{\pi}{3})$ on the hyperbola $9x^2 - 16y^2 = 9$ is $\frac{1}{4} \sqrt{66 - 32\sqrt{2} - 18\sqrt{3}}$.
Reason: $x = a \cosh t, y = b \sinh t$ are the parametric equations of the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$.

The lines of the form $x \cos \phi + y \sin \phi = P$ are chords of the hyperbola $4x^2 - y^2 = 4a^2$ which subtend a right angle at the centre of the hyperbola. If these chords touch a circle with centre at $(0,0)$,then the radius of that circle is

The circle $x^2 + y^2 - 8x = 0$ and the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$ intersect at points $A$ and $B$. The line $2x + y = 1$ is a tangent to the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$. If this line passes through the point of intersection of the nearest directrix and the $x$-axis,find the eccentricity of the hyperbola.
