Using suitable drawings to exemplify describe what the following are:
An Arc
A Perpendicular Bisector of a line
An Angle Bisector of any angle
Loci and Regions
The locus of an object is the path it takes following a given rule or set of rules. E.g. A pendulum of a clock is swinging from a fixed point so its path is an arc as it swings from side to side…
Find out about one real life application of the topic of Loci and write a summary about it…
Skill
Q1. a) On a clean page, roughly in the middle of the page, draw accurately a SSS
triangle with length AB = 7cm AC = 8cm and BC = 5cm
b) Draw the perpendicular bisectors through two of the edges of the
triangle ABC such that they intersect each other at a single point
c) Putting the point of the pair of compasses on the point of intersection of the two
perpendicular bisectors you drew in b) and opening them up to one of the
vertices of the triangle ABC, draw the circle with the centre on this point of
intersection. Repeat this for another triangle of your choice for edge lengths,
what do you notice each time?
Q2. a) On another clean page draw a SSS triangle with edge lengths B = 10cm,
BC=AC = 8cm.
b) Draw the angle bisector through any two interior angles of the triangle ABC such
that they cross each other and extend each one to touch the opposite edges of
the triangle.
c) Put the point of the pair of compasses on the intersection point of the two angle
bisector and open the pair of compasses up so that the pencil is where the angle
bisector meets the edge of the triangle. Draw the circle. Repeat this for another
triangle with edge lengths of your choice; what do you notice?

Construct the following picture accurately using a pair of compasses. I would suggest the outer circle has a diameter of 12cm to help with the accurate use of the pair of compasses!
