Worked solution
20(a)((i))
1. Construct equal-radius arcs from $A$ and $B$ and draw the bisector through their intersections.
Set the compass radius to more than half of . With centre , draw arcs above and below . Without changing the compass radius, with centre , draw arcs to intersect the first pair of arcs. Join the two arc intersection points with a straight line. This line is the perpendicular bisector of .
The perpendicular bisector of is constructed: it crosses at its midpoint and is perpendicular to .
20(a)((ii))
1. Construct the angle bisector of $\angle ABC$ using equal-radius arcs.
With centre , draw an arc cutting and at two points. Using the same radius from these two points, draw arcs that intersect inside . Join to this intersection point with a ruler. This line is the angle bisector of .
The angle bisector of is constructed as a straight line from dividing into two equal angles.
20(b)
1. Convert the actual distance from $D$ to a map distance.
Scale: .
So must be from on the map.
2. Locate the point satisfying both conditions.
Since is equidistant from and , lies on the perpendicular bisector of .
Using compasses, draw an arc or circle with centre and radius .
The required point is the intersection of this circle with the perpendicular bisector of that lies inside quadrilateral .
is the point inside where the perpendicular bisector of meets the circle with centre and radius on the map.
20(c)
1. Identify and label the intersection satisfying both equidistance conditions.
Since is equidistant from and , it lies on the angle bisector of .
Since is equidistant from and , it lies on the perpendicular bisector of .
Therefore, label
inside the quadrilateral .
is the point inside where the angle bisector of intersects the perpendicular bisector of .
