Let AD be internal angle bisector of ∠BAC. Drop perpendicular from B on AD and produce it to meet AC at B'.
Clearly, AMBAMB, so  B'  is image of B in line AD.
As slope of AD is – 3, so slope of line BB'  =13=tanθ( say )    


∴ Equation of BB' in parametric form is x+1310=y3110=r
∴ Co-ordinates of B' are 1+310×2×510,3+110×2×510(2,4)

                                            As distance of line AD from B is 510

Clearly, equation of  AC  is   y =  2x        ...(1)
Also, equation of AD is  3x + y  =  5 (given)    ...(2)   
∴ On solving (1) and (2), we get A (1, 2)

 As AB=5,AC=25 and BC=5

So, clearly ΔABC is right angled at A. So, by using sine law, we get

asinA=2R5sin90=2RR=52
