How will you find a point equidistant from three given points A, B, C which are not in the same straight line?
उत्तर
(i) The locus of points equidistant from three given points A, B & C is the straight line PQ, which bisects AB at right angles.
(ii) Similarly, the locus of points equidistant from B and C is the straight line RS which bisects BC at right angles.
Hence, the point common to PQ and RS must satisfy both conditions; that is to say, X the point of intersection of PQ and RS will be equidistant from A, B and C.
