A and B are 3 centimeters apart. Find the intersection of loci between the set of points equidistant
from A and B and the set of points 1.5 centimeters from A. What is the description?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The locus of points equidistant from points A and B id the straight line perpendicular to the segment
connecting this line and passing through the mid-point of this segment.

The set of points 1.5 centimeters from A is the circle with the center at A having the radius of 1.5 centimeters.

The intersection of these two loci is the mid-point of the segment AB.
