An illustration showing how to construct a tangent to a circle through a given point in a circumference. "Through a given point A and center C, draw the line BC. With A as a center, draw the circle arcs B and C; with B and C as centers, draw the cross arcs D and E; then join D and E, which is the required tangent."

An illustration showing how to construct two circles that tangent themselves and two given lines. "Draw the center line AB between the given lines; assume D to be the tangenting point of the circles; draw DC at right angles to AB. With C as center and CD as radius, draw the circle EDF. From E, draw Em at right angles to EF; and from F draw Fm at right angles to FE; then m and n are the centers for the required circles."
