ABC  is a triangle with coordinates A =(2, 6), B =(0, 0), and C =(14, 0). (a) Let P  be the midpoint of AB. Determine the equation of the line perpendicular to AB passing through P. (b) Let Q be the point on line BC  for which PQ is perpendicular to AB. Determine the length of AQ. (c) There is a (unique) circle passing through the points A, B, and C. Determine the radius of this circle.
