Determine the locus of a point inside a square PQRSPQRS which is equidistant from PQPQ and QRQR.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. PQPQ and QRQR meet at the corner QQ.
  2. Points equidistant from two lines that meet lie on the bisector of the angle between them, here ∠PQR\angle PQR.
  3. In a square, the diagonal from QQ bisects the right angle at QQ.
  4. That diagonal is QSQS, option B.
