The diagram represents a plot of land, ABCD. The police is looking for a robber hiding in the land.
Scale: 1 cm represents 1 km
Here are the accounts from three witnesses:
Witness 1: The robber is located more than 6 km away from A.
Witness 2: The robber is located nearer to B than A.
Witness 3: The robber is located nearer to AD than AB.
Shade the region where the robber is hiding.

1. Represent the condition “more than 6 km away from A”.
Since the scale is , is represented by .
Draw a circle with centre and radius .
The robber must be in the region outside this circle.
2. Represent the condition “nearer to B than A”.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of .
Points on this perpendicular bisector are equally far from and .
Since the robber is nearer to than , choose the side of the perpendicular bisector that contains .
3. Represent the condition “nearer to AD than AB”.
Construct the angle bisector of .
Points on the angle bisector are equally far from the lines and .
Since the robber is nearer to than , choose the side of the angle bisector closer to .
4. Shade the required intersection inside the plot.
Within the boundary of plot , shade only the region satisfying all three conditions:
Shade the part of plot that is outside the circle centre radius , on the -side of the perpendicular bisector of , and on the -side of the angle bisector of .
