Listen could any of you solve this question, it's on loci (math) : Construct ABC in which AB = 8 cm, BC = 7.5 cm and AC = 6 cm. On the same diagram, construct
a) the locus of point P on the same side of AB as point C and such that the area of APB = area of ACB.
I constructed the diagram but I can't make out where P could lie :confused:

Sorry, I haven't learnt loci yet.

had too much trouble when solving myself... well it doesnt say that the point P should be inside the triangle so it gives a free hand... take the perpendicular bisector of AB nd the perpendicular bisector of any other side.... make a circumcircle and all points on that circle will be equal in length now for the angle u vl need to use that theorem in which the angles subscribed by two lines at any point will bell equal nd measure the angle C nd mark it from AB at another point.... complicated... sorry i em not good at explaining.........
