Loci in Two Dimensions

The document contains 20 multi-part math problems involving constructing loci (the path or set of points) of a moving point based on its distance from one or more fixed points, lines, or other loci. The problems involve skills like constructing perpendicular bisectors, finding points equidistant from two or more given points/lines, and determining intersections between constructed loci.
