- Construct a ΔABC in which BC = 6.5 cm, ∠ABC = 60°, AB = 5 cm.
- Construct the locus of points at a distance of 3.5 cm from A.
- Construct the locus of points equidistant from AC and BC.
- Mark 2 points X and Y which are at a distance of 3.5 cm from A and also equidistant from AC and BC. Measure XY.

उत्तर
- Steps of construction:
- Draw BC = 6.5 cm using a ruler.
- With B as center and radius equal to approximately half of BC, draw an arc that cuts the segment BC at Q.
- With Q as center and same radius, cut the previous arc at P.
- Join BP and extend it.
- With B as center and radius 5 cm, draw an arc that cuts the arm PB to obtain point A.
- Join AC to obtain ΔABC.

- With A as center and radius 3.5 cm, draw a circle.
The circumference of a circle is the required locus.
- Draw CH, which is bisector of ΔACB. CH is the required locus.

- Circle with center A and line CH meet at points X and Y as shown in the figure. xy = 5 cm (approximately).
