On the diagram, construct the perpendicular bisector of AB.

  1. (a)On the diagram, construct the perpendicular bisector of AB.[1]
  2. (b)(i)On the diagram, construct the locus of points inside triangle ABC, that are 7 cm from C,[1]
  3. (b)(ii)equidistant from AB and AC.[1]
  4. (c)P is any point which is equidistant from A and B and more than 7 cm from C and nearer to AC than AB. Find the extremes of the possible positions of P and label them P₁ and P₂.[1]
