Demonstrate the effect of fixed circles on constructions as follows:- Drag A away from B, until the circles no longer intersect.
- Note the perpendicular bisector disappears, because it is no longer valid.
- To
recover the perpendicular bisector, you may enlarge the circle around
A. But before you can do this, you must "unfix" the circle. To do this,
right click on the circle and uncheck the “Fixed” box in the "Edit
circle" dialog box. Close the dialog box by clicking "OK".
- Now
right click on the circle and drag it to make it larger. When it is
large enough to intersect the other circle, then the perpendicular
bisector reappears.
