Locus

The document consists of a series of geometry problems involving loci and regions defined by specific conditions. It includes tasks such as drawing loci based on distances from points and lines, shading regions based on proximity to given points and lines, and constructing geometric shapes using a ruler and compass. Additionally, it involves practical applications like locating a sprinkler and potential tree positions within a defined plot of land.

4. The figure below shows a rectangle ABCD. While refilling the pen, a drop of ink (I)
landed inside the rectangle ABCD. Given that ink was closer to BC than AB,
and the area of . Shade and label region I. (4 marks)

5. The diagram below shows a Cartesian plane. A set of points is chosen from the Cartesian
plane such that they satisfy the conditions below
(i) The points are at most 2 units from the x – axis.
(ii) None of the points is more than 3 units from the point A (2,1) .
(iii) The points are nearer the x – axis than the y – axis.
(iv) None of the points is more than 4 units from the y – axis.
By shading the unwanted region, construct the locus of all the points satisfying all the
four conditions above.
