Vectors - Intersection of Two Lines

Solutions to this question by accurate drawing will not be accepted.
The diagram shows a trapezium \(ABCD\) with parallel sides \(AB\) and \(DC\). Given that angle \(ABC\) and angle \(DCB\) are \(90{}^\circ \). The coordinates of \(A\), \(B\) and \(D\) are \(\left( 2,1 \right)\) , \(\left( 8,3 \right)\) and \(\left( 4,5 \right)\) respectively. Find

  1. the equation of \(DC\),
  2. the coordinates of \(C\),
  3. the coordinates of a point \(P\) on \(BD\) such that \(2BP=PD\),
  4. the area of the trapezium \(ABCD\).
