Draw a line AB = 6 cm. Draw the locus of all the points which are equidistant from A and B.

आकृति

Steps of construction:

Draw a line segment AB of 6 cm.
Draw perpendicular bisector LM of AB. LM is the required locus.
Take any point on LM say P.
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.

Draw a triangle ABC in which AB = 6 cm, BC = 4.5 cm and AC = 5 cm. Draw and label:

the locus of the centres of all circles which touch AB and AC,
the locus of the centres of all the circles of radius 2 cm which touch AB.
Hence, construct the circle of radius 2 cm which touches AB and AC .
