Question 1113554: The coordinates of of A are (k, 2k) in OABC, where K>0. length of OA is root 80 units.
If the point C lies on the line through O parallel to y+3x = 5 and also on the perpendicular bisector of AB. calculate the coordinates of C and the area of the quadrilateral OABC.

There is not enough information given.

For one thing, it appears point O is supposed to be the origin; the statement of the problem must say so. Any point can be called point O.

Assuming O is the origin, we still don't have enough information. We need to know something about point B. Point B can be almost anywhere; different points B will usually give different points C, resulting in different areas of the quadrilateral.
