In spherical geometry we look at the globe as the sphere S^2. Any plane intersecting the sphere will create a great circle. Now if you take any point on the globe and reflect it across that plane, you have another point that is equidistant from the plane. The sets of all these points will be equidistant from the great circle.

How many points are there that are equidistant points a and b and also 2in from the line passing through a and b?

To find the points that are equidistant from points A and B, you would first determine the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB, which is a line that is equidistant from both points. For the points that are also 2 units from the line passing through A and B, there will be two lines parallel to the perpendicular bisector, each located 2 units away. Therefore, there are exactly two points that satisfy both conditions.


How do you find a point equidistant from three other points?

To find a point equidistant from three other points, construct perpendicular bisectors for two of the segments formed from three points. Note: this will be the center of the circle that has all three points on it's circumference. Three points, not in a straight line, form three pairs of points with each pair defining a different line. Take any pair of points and draw the perpendicular bisector of the line joining them. Repeat for one of the other pairs. These two perpendicular bisectors will meet at the point which is equidistant from all three points - the circumcenter of the triangle formed by the three points.

What is a locus of points equidistant from a point?

A locus of points is just the set of points satisfying a given condition. The locus of points equidistant from a point is a circle, since a circle is just a set of points which are all the same distance away from the center

How do you find the equal distance from each of your three points?

It is the circumcentre of the triangle formed by the three points. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of two of the lines joining the three points. They will meet at the point that is equidistant from the three points.
