An illustration showing how to construct the center and radius of a circle that will tangent a given circle and line. "Through the given point C, draw the line EF at right angles to AB; set off from C the radius r of the given circle. Join G and F. With G and F as centers draw the arc crosses m and n. Join mn, and where it crosses the line EF is the center of the required circle."

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."
