               CH: 8-PLAYING WITH CONSTRUCTIONS
               SUBTOPIC:  POINTS EQUIDISTANCE FROM TWO GIVEN POINTS



               Points Equidistant from Two Given Points
               Construct a House
               All the lines forming the border of the house are of length 5 cm.
               Solution:
               The first task is to identify in what sequence the lines and curve will have to be drawn.
               Step 1: We need to locate point A which is of distance 5 cm from points B and C.

















               Step 2:
               Draw a curve that has all its points of 5 cm from point B; the circle centered at B should be
               with a 5 cm radius.
               Point A can be located by finding the correct point on the circle that is a of distance 5 cm
               from point C.
               Step 3:
               Point A could have been obtained just by drawing arcs of radius 5 cm from points B and C.
