The locus of points 3 cm from a single point on any circle would be a circle of radius 3 with the given point as a center. Hence the locus of points 3 cm from ANY point on the circle with radius 8 cm would be an annulus with and

One question per post, please.

1.(a) describe the locus of points in a plane 3 cm from the points on a circle
with radius 8 cm
=============
Too vague.
Is the plane parallel to the plane of the given circle?
If not, the radius of the circle is not relevant.
Do you mean 3 cms from any point on the circle?

(b) sketch the locus of points for the air valve on the tire of a bicycle as the bicycle moves down a straight path.
