Answer to Problem 12RP
A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The points are at fixed distance from a fixed point and equidistant from two given points.
Calculation:
The locus of points that are ta fixed distance from a fixed point and equidistant from two given points will be a circle with the perpendicular bisector of the points.
Draw a circle using fixed point at the center and the radius as the fixed distance.
Then draw a perpendicular bisector between the given points. The point of the intersection of the circle and the perpendicular bisector of the points will be the locus.
