(a) Using a ruler and a pair of compasses only, construct: (i) a triangle ABC such that |AB| = 5cm, |AC| = 7.5cm and < CAB = 120°; (ii) the locus \(l_{1}\) of points equidistant from A and B; (iii) the locus \(l_{2}\) of points equidistant from AB and AC which passes through triangle ABC .

(b) Label the point P where \(l_{1}\) and \(l_{2}\) intersect.

(c) Measure |CP|.

Explanation

(c) |CP| = 6.7cm
