LOCI:

1. Use ruler and compasses only for this question:


(i) construct ∆ABC, where AB = 3.5 cm, BC = 6 cm and ∠ABC = 60°.
(ii) Construct the locus of points inside the triangle which are equidistant
from BA and BC.
(iii) Construct the locus of points inside the triangle which are
equidistant from B and C.
(iv) Mark the point P which is equidistant from AB, BC and also
equidistant from B and C. Measure and record the length of PB.
ANS:

2. Use ruler and compasses only for the following questions. All
constructions lines and arcs must be clearly shown.
(i) Construct a ∆ABC in which BC = 6.5 cm, ∠ABC = 60°, AB = 5 cm.
(ii) Construct the locus of points at a distance of 3.5 cm from A.
(iii) Construct the locus of points equidistant from AC and BC.
(iv) Mark 2 points X and Y which are at distance of 3.5 cm from A and
also equidistant from AC and BC. Measure XY.

3. A straight line AB is 8 cm long. Draw and describe the locus of a point


which is:
(i) always 4 cm from the line AB
(ii) equidistant from A and B.
Mark the two points X and Y, which are 4 cm from AB and equidistant
from A and B. Describe the figure AXBY.
4. Using ruler and a compass only construct a semi-circle with diameter BC = 7 cm. Locate a
point A on the circumference of the semicircle such that A is equidistant from B and C. Complete
the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, such that D is equidistant from AB and BC. Measure ∠ADC and
write it down

5. Using ruler and compass only, construct a ∆ABC such that BC = 5 cm and AB = 6.5 cm and
∠ABC = 120°.
(ii) Construct a circum-circle of ∆ABC.
(iii) Construct a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, such that D is equidistant from AB and BC.

6. Construct a triangle ABC with AB = 5.5 cm, AC = 6 cm and ∠BAC = 105°. Hence
(i) Construct the locus of points equidistant from BA and BC.
(ii) Construct the locus of points equidistant from B and C.
(iii) Mark the point which satisfies the above two loci as P. Measure and write the length
of PC
