The diagram shows a map of part of a coastline.

1 centimetre represents 40 metres.

(a) A ferry leaves a port P and travels between two islands so that it is always equidistant
fromA andB.
Using a straight edge and compasses only, draw this locus. [2]

(b) For safety reasons the ferry must be at least 120 metres from a ship at D.
Draw the locus of the points which form the boundary of safety around D. [l]
