Question

Plot the point A(5, 5). Using a line tool, create with a length of 4 units from point A. Turn on the trace feature at point B, and move point B around point A, keeping the length of fixed. Capture the image, and paste or insert it in the space below.

Answer 1

Plotting a point A and tracing a point B at 4 units from A results in a circle.

▪The locus of a point at equal distance from a fixed point is a circle.

▪Point A is (5,5) and length of AB is 4 units

This implies that the radius of circle is 4 units.

▪The point B can be swirled around A keeping the distance AB constant.

▪The resulting figure is a circle.

▪This circle is plotted and attached below.
