(B) Given the parametric equations of the curve are $x = a(	heta + \sin 	heta)$ and $y = a(1 - \cos 	heta)$.First,we find the derivatives with respect to $	heta$:$\frac{dx}{d	heta} = a(1 + \cos 	heta)$$\frac{dy}{d	heta} = a(\sin 	heta)$Now,the slope of the tangent $m = \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy/d	heta}{dx/d	heta} = \frac{a \sin 	heta}{a(1 + \cos 	heta)} = \frac{\sin 	heta}{1 + \cos 	heta} = 	an(\frac{	heta}{2})$.At $	heta = \frac{\pi}{2}$,the slope of the tangent $m = 	an(\frac{\pi}{4}) = 1$.The slope of the normal is $m_n = -\frac{1}{m} = -1$.The coordinates of the point at $	heta = \frac{\pi}{2}$ are $x = a(\frac{\pi}{2} + 1)$ and $y = a(1 - 0) = a$.The length of the normal is given by the formula $|y \sqrt{1 + m^2}| = |a \sqrt{1 + (1)^2}| = |a \sqrt{2}| = a \sqrt{2}$.

The length of the normal to the curve $x=a(\theta+\sin \theta), y=a(1-\cos \theta)$ at $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ is
