Using a ruler and a pair of compasses only,

(a) Construct : (i) \(\Delta PQR\) such that /PQ/ = 8cm, /PR/ = 7cm and < QPR = 105°. (ii) locus \(L_{1}\) of points equidistant from P and Q. (iii) locus \(l_{2}\) of points equidistant Q and R.

(b)(i) Label the point T where \(l_{1}\) and \(l_{2}\) intersect ; (ii) With centre T and radius /TQ/, construct a circle \(l_{3}\). (iii) Complete quadrilateral PQSR such that /RS/ = /QS/ and /RQ/ = /TS/.
