Overview

Locus is a fundamental concept in geometry that deals with the path traced by a moving point under specific conditions. Understanding locus helps us describe geometric shapes and solve construction problems systematically. This chapter explores various types of loci and their properties, which form

Key Concepts

The locus of a moving point

The locus of a moving point is the complete path traced by that point when it moves according to a given condition or set of conditions. For example,

The locus of a point equidistant

The locus of a point equidistant from two given points is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining those two points. This means any poin

The locus of a point equidistant

The locus of a point equidistant from two intersecting lines is the pair of lines that bisect the angles formed by the given lines. This creates two a
