Let coordinates of P are (x, y).Since, P is equidistant from A, B, C, then        PA2 = PB2                ...iand  PB2 = PC2               ...iiFrom Eq.(i),x - 12 + y - 32 = x + 32 + y - 52 x2 + 1 - 2x +y2 + 9 - 6y   = x2 + 9 + 6x + y2 + 25 - 10y 8x - 4y + 24 = 0     2x - y + 6 = 0     ...iiiFrom Eq. (ii),x + 32 + y - 52 = x - 52 + y + 12 x2 + 9 + 6x + y2 + 25 - 10y     = x2 + 25 - 10x + y2 + 1 + 2y 16x - 12y + 8 = 0     4x - 3y + 2 = 0   ...iv

On solving Eqs. (iii) and (iv), we get

x = - 8, y = - 10

Now, PA2 = (- 8 - 1)2 + (- 10 - 3)2

              = 81 + 169 = 250

        PA = 250 = 510
