Show answer and solution
[IMAGE] Let the parameteric equation of chord be x = a 2+rcosθ\sqrt{2} + {rcos}\theta
⇒\Rightarrow y = r sinθ
Solving it with x^2 - y^2 = a^2

We get 
r2(cos2θ)+(22acosθ)r+a2r^{2}(cos2\theta) + (2\sqrt{2}acos\theta)r + a^{2} = 0
(PQ)^2 = (r_1 + r_2 )^2 - 4r_1 r_2 =

8a2cos⁡2θ−4a2cos⁡2θcos⁡22θ\frac{8a^{2}\cos^{2}\theta - 4a^{2}\cos{2\theta}}{\cos^{2}{2\theta}} =
4a^2 sec^22θ

Hence (RS)^2 = 4a^2

sec^2
{2(π2+θ)}\left\{ 2\left( \frac{\pi}{2} + \theta \right) \right\} = 4a^2
