Question

Compound Locusss!!! NEED HELP!
Points R and S are 4 cm apart.
a. Describe fully the locus of points equidistant from R and S
b. Describe fully the locus of points d cm from S
c. How many points satisfy the conditions in both A) and B) if:
(1) d=4 (2) d=2

Answer 1

hint: the perpendicular bisector of any two points describe the locus of points equidistant from those two points.
