Question 6574: Opposite Midpoint and Three Squared Segments

Original question and givens

In one equal-unit orthogonal Euclidean frame, labeled A,B,C have indices 1,2,3 and points=[[-23, 0], [24, 0], [0, 24]]. The points are distinct and noncollinear, vertex=3, and M is the opposite side’s midpoint. Give (Mx, My, first opposite endpoint-to-M square, second endpoint-to-M square, vertex-to-M square). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.
