a) F(5,1), G(x,7) and H(8,2) are the vertices of a triangle. Given that the length of the
side FG is twice the length of the side FH, calculate the possible values of x.

b) A triangle has vertices A(4,4), B(7,6) and C(5,3). Prove that the triangle ABC is
isosceles. Given that P is the mid-point of AB, Q is the mid-point of BC and R is
the mid-point of CA, prove that the triangle PQR is also isosceles. [6p]
