Mathematics
A point P is allowed to travel in space. State the locus of P so that it always remains at a constant distance from a fixed point C.
Locus
Answer
Since, the point P is allowed to travel in space hence, the point can be any dimension.
Hence, the locus will be a sphere with C as center and constant distance as radius.
