2. Construct the locus of points at a distance of 3.5 cm from A.
3. Construct the locus of points equidistant from AC and BC.
4. 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.

Evaluate:

sin² 34° + sin² 56° + 2 tan 18° tan 72° – cot² 30°

Prove that:

tan (55° + x) = cot (35° – x)

Prove that:

`(cot A - 1)/(2 - sec^2 A) = cot A/(1 + tan A)` 

Prove that (sin θ + cosec θ)² + (cos θ + sec θ)² = 7 + tan² θ + cot² θ.
