Without using set squares or a protractor, construct:
- Triangle ABC, in which AB = 5.5 cm, BC = 3.2 cm and CA = 4.8 cm.
- Draw the locus of a point which moves so that it is always 2.5 cm from B.
- Draw the locus of a point which moves so that it is equidistant from the sides BC and CA.
- Mark the point of intersection of the loci with the letter P and measure PC.

उत्तर
- Draw a triangle by given measurements.
- The locus of a point which moves so that it is always 2.5 cm from B is a circle, as shown in the figure.
- The locus of a point is the bisector of ∠ACB.

- The circle and bisector intersect in two points PD = 0·9 cm and PC = 3.4 cm.
