(2x + 3y – 5) cos + (3x – 5y + 2)sin = 0
this family pass through the intersection of 2x + 3y – 5 = 0 and 3x – 5y + 2 = 0 which is (1, 1).

it passes through the intersection of x + y + 1 = 0, y + 2 = 0 which is (1, – 2).

Any point on the line is (x1, 1 – 2x1)
equation of the chord of contact of tangents from the above to the circle is xx1 + y(1 – 2x1) = 9
(x – 2y)x1 + (y – 9) = 0
It passes through the intersection of x – 2y = 0, y – 9 = 0 which is (18, 9).

Let two x-coordinates of the square’s vertices be a and b with a > b, then

a – 3a = b – 3b = a – b
so, a = b – 2b and b = 4a – a3

3 3
 a = 4a – b and b = a + 2b
2 2 2 2
 (a – b)(a + b + ab) = 3(a – b)  a + ab + b = 3

 a = b – 2b
 b2 = 1 + 21/3
 area of square will be (216)1/3 + (–108)1/3
so A = 216, B = – 108.
