Answer
Steps of construction :
Let fixed point be A and B be any point on circle.
- Taking fixed point (A) as center draw a circle of radius (AB) = 3 cm.
The locus of a point which is 3 cm away from a fixed point is circumference of a circle whose radius is 3 cm and the fixed point is the center of the circle.
