35. Case study
A family wanted to buy a house such that it should be close to the children’s
school and parent’s workplace. By looking at a map, they could find a point
that is equidistant from both the workplace and the school and that point is
circumcentre of the triangular region.
If the coordinates are A(12,5), B(20,5), and C(16,7), then on the basis above
information answer the following. ( Figure for reference only, not as per scale)
1. Using the concept of determinants, find the equation of AC.
2. If any point P(2,k) is collinear with point A(12, 5) and O(16, 2) then find the

3. If any point Q(1, p) formed a triangle of area 12sq.units with the points
A(12,5) and B(20,5) then find the value of ‘p’.
