The document outlines a series of geometric constructions involving loci of points, hyperbolas, ellipses, and tangents. It includes specific distances from fixed points and lines, requiring the drawing of curves based on given conditions. Each task specifies the relationship between distances and names the resulting curves, such as hyperbolas and ellipses.

1. A fixed point is 75 mm from a fixed straight line.
Draw the locus of
a point P moving such a way that its distance from the fixed straight line is (i) twice its distance from the fixed point; (ii) equal to its distance from the fixed point. Name the curves. 2. The vertex of a hyperbola is 65 mm from its focus. Draw the curve if the eccentricity is · Draw a normal and a tangent at a point on the curve, 75 mm from the directrix. 3. Draw an ellipse when the distance of its vertex from its directrix is 24 mm and distance of its focus from directrix is 42 mm. 4. A fixed point is 90 mm from a fixed straight line. Draw the locus of a point P moving in such a way that its distance from the fixed straight line is twice its distance from the fixed point. Name the curve. Draw a tangent and a normal at a point 40 mm away from the fixed point. 5. Draw the locus of a point which moves in such a manner that its distance from a fixed point is equal to its distance from a fixed straight line. Consider the distance between the fixed point and the fixed line as 60 mm. name the curve. 6. Draw the hyperbola when its vertex and its focus are at a distance of 15 mm and 40 mm respectively from the directrix. Plot at least six points.
