Point P lies on line l. What is the locus of points on a and 3 cm from P? I need a diagram and an explanation on how to get the locus please. Thanks!

question looks incomplete. maybe you missed something while copy-paste ? check pls below phrase doesnt seem logically correct : .... points on a and 3 cm from P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is all it says.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, on L and 3 cm from P

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okay cool :D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets try n understand what question is asking to find

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

*line

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

fine ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry for taking so long. I am slowly interpreting it. Is that the diagram answer? I already had that but I thought it was wrong.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its just a line L, and a point P we need to STILL locate, which points are 3 cm DISTANCE AWAY FROM the point P !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shouldn't that just be another line? L2, with the other point on it?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hmm lets see what we will get,
