Solution
Steps of construction:
- Draw a line segment AB = 6 cm
- With A and B as centers and radius 9 cm, draw two arcs which intersect each other at C.
- Join AC and BC.
- Draw the perpendicular bisector of BC.
- With A as centre and radius 4 cm, draw an arc which intersects the perpendicular bisector of BC at P.
P is the required point which is equidistant from B and C and at a distance of 4 cm from A.
