Steps

  1. Given are circles c and d that intersect each other, and a point A.
  2. Construct circle e with the center A so that both given circles lie inside the constructed circle and do not intersect it.
  3. Use circle e as the axis of a circle inversion. Circles c' and d' are created.
  4. Construct lines g and f that are tangents of circles c' and d'.
  5. Use circle e as the axis of a circle inversion again. By that, circles k1 and k2 are created.
  6. Solutions are circles k1 and k2.
