Construction Of A Center And Radius Of A Circle That Will Tangent A Given Circle And Line
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
An illustration showing how to construct the center and radius of a circle that will tangent a given circle and line. “From C, erect the perpendicular CG; set off the given radius r from C to H. With H as a center and r as radius, draw the cross arcs on the circle. Through the cross arcs draw the line IG; then G is the center of the circle arc FIC, which tangents the line at C and the circle at F.”
