Question
Use ruler and compass to answer this question. Construct ∠ABC = 90°, where AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm.
- Construct the locus of points equidistant from B and C.
- Construct the locus of points equidistant from A and B.
- Mark the point which satisfies both the conditions (a) and (b) as 0. Construct the locus of points keeping a fixed distance OA from the fixed point 0.
- Construct the locus of points which are equidistant from BA and BC.
Solution
- The locus of points equidistant from B and C is on BC's perpendicular bisector.
- Similarly, the locus will be at the perpendicular bisector of AB.
- The locus will be the circle that touches all three points A, B and C.
- The point equidistant from BA and BC will be the angle bisector of ∠ABC.
