Question 612440: the locus of all pointsd in a plane that are one unit from a circle of radius 3 units is what?

Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Suppose this green circle is of radius 3 units:

Then the locus of all points which are 1 unit distance 
(radially) from each point on that green circle are these 
two red circles, one inside of radius 2 units and one 
outside of radius 4 units.
