The equations of the sides A B , B C and C A of a triangle A B C are 2 x + y = 0 ,   x + p y = 39 and x…

The equations of the sides AB,BC and CA of a triangle ABC are 2x+y=0, x+py=39 and x-y=3 respectively and P2,3 is its circumcentre. Then which of the following is NOT true
  1. AC2=9p
  2. AC2+p2=136
  3. 32<area ABC<36
  4. 34< area ABC<38

Solution

Intersection of 2x+y=0 & x-y=3 is A1,-2

Perpendicular bisector of AB is y-3=12x-2x-2y+4=0

Take image of A along the perpendicular bisector of AB, we get 

x-11=y+2-2=-295=-185

i.e. x=-135, y=265

 B-135,265

This point lies on the line x+py=39

i.e. -135+p265=39-1+2p=15

p=8

Solving x+8y=39 and x-y=3, we get C7,4

Now AC2=1-72+-2-42=72=9p

and AC2+p2=72+64=136

Also ΔABC=121-21741-1352651

=1218+18×135

=9185=1625=32.434,38
