The given problem is related to the calculation of area of triangle and distance between two points.
In a given plane, points and
are
units apart. How many points
are there in the plane such that the perimeter of
is
units and the area of
is
square units?

Notice that it does not matter where the triangle is in the 2D plane so for our easy access we can select two points A and B in any place of choice.
So we can actually select any two points A and B such that they are 10 units apart so lets the points are and
, as they are 10 units apart.
Now we can select the point C such that the perimeter of the triangle is 50 units. and then we can apply the formula of area to calculate the possible positions of C.
