Given,
The equations of two adjacent sides of a parallelogram ABCD be 2x-3y = -23 and 5x + 4y = 23,
So, AB
2x - 3y = -23 and BC
5z + 4y = 23
Also given, AC
3x + 7y = 23
Solving the above lines we get, A(-4, 5), B(-l, 7), C(3, 2)

We know that,
Diagonal of parallelogram have same midpoint,
So AC and BD have same mid-point and let point D be (x,y),
So midpoint formula we get,
and 
Hence, point D is (0, 0)
Now Equation of BD will be 7x + y = 0
Now finding the distance of A(-4, 5) from 7x + y = 0 we get,

Hence, 50d 2 = 23 2 = 529
