The diagram, which is not drawn to scale, shows a right-angled triangle ABC,
where A is the point (h, 12) and B is the point (9, 8). The point D (13, 14) is the
mid-point of BC. The line DE is parallel to AC and the angle DEC is 90 °.
Find
Show that the coordinates of E are (18.6, 17.2). Hence, or otherwise, find the
area of the entire figure ACEDB. [5]
