4 lessons
Loci from a line
In this lesson, we will learn how to draw the locus of points that are a given distance from a line segment. We will do this using a compass, ruler, pencil and paper.
Loci from a shape
In this lesson, we will learn how to draw the locus of points a given distance from a shape. We will do this using a compass, ruler, pencil and paper.
Equidistant from two points
In this lesson, we will learn how to draw the locus of points equidistant from two given points. We will do this using a compass, ruler, pencil and paper.
