There is a wonderful example of such computations in the Maple program
"Rene" from Doron Zeilberger which allows to check all the standard theorems
of plane geometry using "Descartes" analytic geometry techniques. See
http://www.math.rutgers.edu/~zeilberg/PG/RENE

Of course these are Maple programs but i suppose small adaptations could make
it run with Maxima.
Zeilberger has many other Maple programs for doing various things here:
