geometry Q3.28-3.31
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| group of only the points that answer a description | locus |
| when a locus contains only the points which answer the question | exclusiveness |
| when a locus contains all the points which answer the description | when a locus contains all the points which answer the description |
| two very essential characteristics of the loci | exclusiveness and inclusiveness |
| the location of all the points and only those points that satisfy given conditions | locus |
| two steps to proving a simple locus | 1. Prove that every point on the assumed locus satisfies the given conditions. 2. Prove that every point that satisfies the given condition is on this assumed locus. |
| Theorem 47: The locus of points equidistant from two given points is | the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the two points |
| Theorem 48: The locus of points within an angle equidistant from the sides is | the line that bisects the angle |
| Corollary 48-1: The locus of points equidistant from two given intersecting lines is | the pair of lines bisecting the angles formed by the given lines |
| Theorem 49: The locus of points equidistant from two parallel lines is | the line parallel to each of the given lines and midway between them |
| Theorem 50: The locus of points a given distance from a given line consists of | two lines, one on either side of the given line, each parallel to the given line and the given distance from it |
| Theorem 51: The locus of points a given distance from a given point is | the circle described with the given point as center and the given distance as radius |
| Theorem 52: The locus of the centers of all circles tangent to a given line at a given point is | the perpendicular to the line at that point |
| only one what can be drawn to a line at a point in the line | perpendicular |
| the distance of a point from a circle means | the shortest distance from the point to the circle; a straight line through the center of the circle |
