Two sides of rhombus $$ABCD$$ are parallel to the lines $$y = x + 2$$ and $$y = 7x + 3$$. If the diagonals of the rhombus intersect at the point $$(1, 2)$$ and the vertex $$A$$ is on the $$y$$-axis, find possible co-ordinates of $$A$$.
One of the diameters of the circle circumscribing the rectangle $$ABCD$$ is $$4y = x + 7$$. If $$A$$ and $$B$$ are the points $$(-3, 4)$$ and $$(5, 4)$$ respectively, then find the area of rectangle.

Two equal sides of an isosceles triangle are given by the equations $$7x - y + 3 = 0$$ and $$x + y - 3 = 0$$ and its thirds side passes through the point $$(1, -10)$$. Determine the equation of the third side.
Answer
$$x - 3y - 31 = 0$$ or $$3x + y + 7 = 0$$

The end $$A, B$$ of a straight line segment of constant length $$c$$ slide upon the fixed rectangular axes $$OX, OY$$ respectively. If the rectangle $$OAPB$$ be completed, then show that the locus of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from $$P$$ to $$AB$$ is $${x^{{2 \over 3}}} + {y^{{2 \over 3}}} = {c^{{2 \over 3}}}$$
