Detailed Solution

We use the fact that the orthocentre O of the triangle ABC is the incentre of the pedal triangle DEF. Let (h,k) be the coordinates of O.

 Now ED=(208)2+(2516)2=15

FD = 20 and EF = 7

 so that h=7×20+20×8+15×87+20+15=10 and 

k=7×25+20×16+15×97+20+15=15

Thus the coordinates of O are (10,15) Since AC is perpendicular to OE, equation of AC is

y16=1081516(x8)y2x=0.....(i)

Similarly equation of AB is

y9=108159(x8)3y+x35=0.....(ii)

and equation of BC is 

y25=20102515(x20)y+x45=0....(iii)

Solving (1) and (2) we get A(5,10).
From (2) and (3) we get B(50,5) and from (3) and (1) we get C(15,30)
