triangle

The sketch shows a plot of land .

(a) Using a scale of 1 cm to 10m, draw an accurate diagram of the plot ;

(b) Construct : (i) The locus \(l_{1}\) of points equidistant from AC and BC ; (ii) the locus \(l_{2}\) of points 60m from A.

(c) A tree T inside the plot is on both \(l_{1}\) and \(l_{2}\). Locate T and find |TC| in metres.

(d) A flagpole, P is to be placed such that it it is nearer AC than BC and more than 60m from A. Shade the regions where P can be located.

Explanation

(a) \(|AB| = 85m = \frac{85}{10}\)

= \(8.5cm\)

construction of triangle using compasses

\(|TC| = 6cm \equiv 60 m\).
