You can use locus descriptions for geometric terms.
The locus of points in the interior of an angle that are equidistant from the sides of the angle is an angle bisector.
In a plane, the locus of points that are equidistant from a segment's endpoints is the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
Sometimes a locus is described by two conditions. You can draw the locus by first drawing the points that satisfy each condition. Then find their intersection.
What is a sketch of the locus of points in a plane that satisfy these conditions?
Know | Need | Plan |
---|---|---|
Lines k and m intersect. | Sketch that satisfies the given conditions | Make a sketch to satisfy the first condition. Then sketch the second condition. Look for the points in common. |
Sketch the points in a plane equidistant from lines k and m. These points form two lines that bisect the vertical angles formed by k and m. | |
Sketch the points in a plane 5 cm from the point where k and m intersect. These points form a circle. | |
Indicate the point or set of points that satisfies both conditions. This set of points is A, B, C, and D. |
