1 . 1fABCD is a square then show that the points A, B, C and D are concyclic.
Sol. Let A (0,0), B (a, 0), C (a, a), D(0,a) D C
Clearly ABCD forms a square.
Equation of the circle passing through A, B, D is x +y- ax - ay = 0.... (1) [try it)1

Substitute C (a, a) in (1) =a* +a*- a -a= 0 0=0

A, B, C, D are concyclic.
the line ax + by + c=0
2 . Find the equation of the circum-circle ofthe triangle formed by
(abc 0) and the coordinate axes.
Sol. Let the line ax + by + c = 0 cuts the x , y axes at A, B respectively.

Clearly A.B0
Now, we find the circle passing through A, B and origin (0, 0).
Let the equation of required circle be x* + yé + 2gx + 2fy +c =0 - (1)
O (0, 0) lies on (1) =c=0

Ao lies on (1) = o+28 +2f(0) +c=0

3 . Find the equation of the circum-circle of the triangle formed by the straight lines

x+3y 1 =
0, x+y +1 0, 2x +3y + 4 0.
=

Sol. Equation of the circle passing through the interscction of the given lines is
k x+3y-1)(x+y+ 1) +/(x+y+ )(2x +3y+ 4)+ m (2x +3y + 4)x+ 3y - 1)=0

Since it represents a circle we have (1)
