Solution

Let M be the point of intersection of the diagonals. M bisects each of the diagonals.
The coordinates of the middle point M of
BD=(5+12,1+32)=(3,2)
Next, as M satisfies y=2x+c2=6+cc=4.
Let the coordinates of D which satisfies
y=2x4 be (x,2x4).
Then, from (AD)2+(DC)2=(AC)2, we get
(x1)2+(2x43)2+(x5)2+(2x41)2=(51)2+(13)2
x26x+8=0x=2orx=4
When x=2,y=0 and from the figure , as ABCD is in the clockwise direction.
We get coordinates of D as (2,0).
When x=4,y=4 so the coordinates of B are (4,4) and the coordinates of the middle point of AB are (4+12,4+32)=(52,72).
The coordinates of the middle point of BC are (4+52,1+42)=(92,52).
Hence, A - 2 ,B-3 , C-4 , D-1
