[ Triangle Inequality ] [ [MT with non-zero area
Given points and . Find the geometric locus of points, the distance from each of which to point is greater than the distance to point .
#
Use the property of the perpendicular bisector of a segment and the triangle inequality.
## Solution
The perpendicular bisector of segment divides the plane into two half-planes. Consider the half-plane containing point . We will prove that for any point in this half-plane, . Indeed, since points and lie in different half-planes with boundary , segment intersects line at some point . By the property of the perpendicular bisector, , therefore
If , this would contradict the condition.
## Answer
The half-plane containing the point, with the boundary being the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
