To find the locus of the centers of all
Answer to Problem 13PSB
A circle with half of the diameter of the given circle.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given circles passing through two given points.
Calculation:
Thefollowing figure describes the locus of the centers of all circles passing through two given points.
The locus of points made from the midpoints of chords drawn from a single point on a circle is another circle tangent to the original point that has a radius half of the original circle. Note that the largest possible chord is the diameter of the original circle. Half of this diameter becomes the diameter of the new circle.
