Question
In the given figure, obtain all the points equidistant from lines m and n; and 2.5 cm from O.

Solution
Draw an angle bisector PQ and XY of angles formed by the lines m and n.
From O, draw arcs with radius 2.5 cm, which intersect the angle bisectors at a, b, c and d respectively.
Hence, a, b, c and d are the required four points.
