Answer
The locus is the red point in the middle of the intersection of the two circles.
Work Step by Step
We are looking for a point that is 1 inch away from both circles. Thus, we first draw the intersecting circles. Next, using a ruler instead of mathematical computations (since the book does not ask for these), we obtain that the required point is the point in the middle of the intersection of the two circles.
