उत्तर


Steps of construction:

  1. Draw a line segment AB of 6 cm.
  2. Draw perpendicular bisector LM of AB. LM is the required locus.
  3. Take any point on LM say P.
  4. Join PA and PB. Since, P lies on the right bisector of line AB.
    Therefore, P is equidistant from A and B. 
    i.e. PA = PB
    Hence, Perpendicular bisector of AB is the locus of all points which are equidistant from A and B.
