Use graph paper for this question. Take 2 cm = 1 unit on both the axes.

1. Plot the points A(1, 1), B(5, 3) and C(2, 7).
2. Construct the locus of points equidistant from A and B.
3. Construct the locus of points equidistant from AB and AC.
4. Locate the point P such that PA = PB and P is equidistant from AB and AC.
5. Measure and record the length PA in cm. 

Construct an isosceles triangle ABC such that AB = 6 cm, BC = AC = 4 cm. Bisect ∠C internally and mark a point P on this bisector such that CP = 5 cm. Find the points Q and R which are 5 cm from P and also 5 cm from the line AB. 

Use ruler and compasses only for this question. Draw a circle of radius 4 cm and mark two chords AB and AC of the circle of lengths 6 cm and 5 cm respectively.
(i) Construct the locus of points, inside the circle, that are equidistant from A and C. prove your construction.
(ii) Construct the locus of points, inside the circle that are equidistant from AB and AC. 

Plot the points A(2, 9), B(–1, 3) and C(6, 3) on graph paper. On the same graph paper draw the locus of point A so that the area of ΔABC remains the same as A moves. 

Construct a triangle BCP given BC = 5 cm, BP = 4 cm and ∠PBC = 45°.

1. Complete the rectangle ABCD such that:
