 Constructions and Loci

1. In the space below construct an equilateral triangle of side 6cm and a triangle of side lengths 5cm, 3cm and 4 cm using
compasses and a ruler only. You must show all construction lines.

2. On the line AB below, construct a triangle so that angle BAC = 30 and angle ABC = 60 using a protractor and ruler.

ice cream seller who is closest to them. Indicate on the diagram the positions on the beach of people who would go to
ice cream seller D.

9. Mrs Smith wants to plant a new bush in her garden. She has decided it must be at least 2m away from the shed, 6m
away from the house and 4m from the tree. Indicate the region that she could plant her new bush.
