The diagram shows the map of a park in the shape of a quadrilateral ABCD. The scale of the map is 1 cm to 10 m.

  1. (a)

    Construct the bisector of angle ABC.

  2. (b)

    Construct the perpendicular bisector of AB.

  3. (c)

    Shade the region inside ABCD that is closer to AB than to BC and closer to B than to A.

  4. (d)

    A tree T is located inside the park ABCD such that it is 30 m from D and equidistant from A and B. Mark and label the exact position of T.

Worked solution

25(a)

1. Construct equal reference points on the two arms of the angle.

With centre BB, draw an arc cutting BABA and BCBC at two points, say PP and QQ, respectively.

2. Locate a point equidistant from the two arms of the angle and draw the bisector.

Using the same compass radius, draw arcs from PP and QQ to meet inside ∠ABC\angle ABC at RR. Draw the straight line ray BRBR. This ray bisects ∠ABC\angle ABC.

Answer

The angle bisector of ∠ABC\angle ABC is the constructed ray from BB through the intersection point of the two equal-radius arcs inside ∠ABC\angle ABC.

25(b)

1. Construct two equal-radius arc intersections from endpoints $A$ and $B$.

Set the compass radius to more than half of ABAB. With centre AA, draw arcs above and below ABAB. Without changing the compass radius, with centre BB, draw arcs cutting the first pair of arcs at two points.

2. Draw the perpendicular bisector of $AB$.

Use a ruler to join the two arc-intersection points. This line is the perpendicular bisector of ABAB.

Answer

The perpendicular bisector of ABAB is the constructed straight line through the two arc-intersection points, meeting ABAB at its midpoint at 90∘90^\circ.

25(c)

1. Identify and shade the required intersection of the two locus regions.

The boundary for points closer to ABAB than to BCBC is the angle bisector of ∠ABC\angle ABC. Since the region must be closer to ABAB, choose the side of this bisector containing side ABAB.

The boundary for points closer to BB than to AA is the perpendicular bisector of ABAB. Since the region must be closer to BB, choose the side of this perpendicular bisector containing BB.

Shade the overlap of these two chosen regions inside ABCDABCD.

Answer

Shade the part of ABCDABCD that is on the ABAB side of the angle bisector of ∠ABC\angle ABC and on the BB side of the perpendicular bisector of ABAB.

25(d)

1. Convert the real distance from $D$ to the map distance.

Scale: 1 cm1\text{ cm} represents 10 m10\text{ m}.

Therefore 30 m30\text{ m} represents
30÷10=3 cm.30 \div 10 = 3\text{ cm}.

2. Construct the two required loci and mark their intersection inside the park.

Draw a circle with centre DD and radius 3 cm3\text{ cm}.

Since TT is equidistant from AA and BB, TT must lie on the perpendicular bisector of ABAB constructed in part (b).

Mark the point where the circle intersects the perpendicular bisector of ABAB inside ABCDABCD, and label it TT.

Answer

Mark and label TT at the intersection inside ABCDABCD of the perpendicular bisector of ABAB and the circle with centre DD and radius 3 cm3\text{ cm}.
