Answer to Problem 10.10EX

The correct choice for locus of points equidistant from the sides of a square.is ( b ).

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The distance from the sides of a square is equal.

Interpretation:

In geometry, a figure which is the set of all points, and only those points which satisfy one or more conditions is termed as locus. Locus of points equidistant from two points forms a perpendicular bisector of that line.

The perpendicular bisector in plane is defined as the locus of points that are equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.

  McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter E, Problem 10.10EX

In the above figure, the locus of the points in a square ABCD which is equidistant from AD and DC and AB and BC will be the diagonal AC and BD respectively. Thus, the locus of points equidistant from the sides of a square is a line bisecting the sides of a square.

Therefore, the locus of points equidistant from the sides of a square is a line.
