  1. Construct triangle ABC.

    • Draw a line segment BC of length 10 cm10 \text{ cm}.
    • At point C, construct an angle of 60∘60^\circ. To do this:
      • Place the compass at C and draw an arc that intersects BC.
      • Without changing the compass radius, place the compass at the intersection point on BC and draw another arc that intersects the first arc.
      • Draw a ray from C through this intersection point. This ray forms a 60∘60^\circ angle with BC.
    • At point B, construct an angle of 45∘45^\circ. To do this:
      • First, construct a 90∘90^\circ angle at B. Extend BC to the left. Place the compass at B and draw an arc intersecting the line at two points. From these two points, draw arcs above B that intersect. Draw a ray from B through this intersection point to form a 90∘90^\circ angle with BC.
      • Bisect the 90∘90^\circ angle. Place the compass at B and draw an arc intersecting the 90∘90^\circ ray and BC. From these two intersection points, draw arcs that intersect within the angle.
      • Draw a ray from B through this intersection point. This ray forms a 45∘45^\circ angle with BC.
    • The intersection of the 60∘60^\circ ray from C and the 45∘45^\circ ray from B is point A.
  2. Construct Locus X, the locus of points equidistant from B and C.

    This is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment BC.

    • Place the compass at B and open it to a radius greater than half the length of BC. Draw arcs above and below BC.
    • Without changing the compass radius, place the compass at C and draw arcs that intersect the previous arcs.
    • Draw a straight line connecting the two intersection points of the arcs. This line is Locus X.
  3. Construct Locus Y, the locus of points 1/2 of points from A.

    We interpret "1/2 of points from A" as the locus of points at a distance of half the length of BC from A.

    • Calculate the radius: R=12×BC=12×10 cm=5 cmR = \frac{1}{2} \times BC = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \text{ cm} = 5 \text{ cm}.
    • Set the compass to a radius of 5 cm5 \text{ cm}.
    • Place the compass point at A.
    • Draw a circle. This circle is Locus Y.
  4. Find the points of intersection of Locus X and Locus Y.

    • The points where the perpendicular bisector (Locus X) intersects the circle (Locus Y) are the required points of intersection. Mark these points.
