1. Compound Locus Geometry Unit 6, Lesson 5 Mrs. King

2. Definition Compound Locus – a problem involving two or more locus conditions occurring at the same time These different conditions are usually separated by “and” or “and also”

3. Problem: A treasure is buried in your backyard. A dog house is 8 feet from a stump and 18 feet from the tree. The treasure is equidistant from the dog house and the tree AND ALSO 6 feet from the stump. Locate all possible points of the buried treasure.

4. Solving Compound Locus Problems Step 1: Draw the diagram showing the information in the problem.

15. Practice 1: Parallel lines r and s are 8 meters apart, and A is a point on line s. How many points are equidistant from r and s and also 4 meters from A? A rs 8m 4m

16. Practice 2: A given point P is 10 units from a given line. How many points are 3 units from the line and 5 units from point P? P 10 units 3 un. 5 units
