Locus

The document outlines a series of geometric constructions involving triangles and loci using a ruler and compass. It includes tasks such as constructing triangles with specific dimensions, determining loci for points based on given conditions, and shading regions based on geometric constraints. The document emphasizes the use of precise measurements and geometric principles to achieve the desired constructions and areas.

ii) Construct the locus of the point X such that QX = XR and mark with the letter X the
point where this locus meets QR

iii) Construct the locus of the point Y such that PY= 6cm and mark with the letter Y, the
point where the locus meets PR.
