Steps

  1. Given are the circles a and b, which are touching internally. The point of tangency between them is D. Also given is the point A inside both circles.
  2. Draw the line c that goes through the centres of a and b and intersects them in the point D.
  3. Construct the perpendicular bisector of AD. It intersects c in the point S.
  4. Draw the circle k that originates in S and has |SA| as its radius. It is the only solution.
