Paper 2Medium8 marks

A mapping team marks two transmitters, AA and BB and a straight service path CDCD on a coordinate map. The coordinates are measured in kilometres. A receiver must be placed on CDCD so that it is the same distance from both transmitters.

Figure 1 shows the positions of AA BB CC and DD
