    Let A(6,8),B(10cos⁡α,−10sin⁡α)A(6,8),B(10\cos\alpha, - 10\sin\alpha) and C (−10sin⁡α,10cos⁡α)( - 10\sin\alpha,10\cos\alpha), be the vertices of a triangle. If L(a,9)L(a,9) and G(h,k)G(h,k) be its orthocenter and centroid respectively, then (5a−3h+6k+100sin⁡2α)(5a - 3h + 6k + 100\sin2\alpha) is equal to ______\_\_\_\_\_\_
