Both Points Outside A Circle
Number of solutions: 2
GeoGebra construction
Steps
- Construct a circle for circular inversion. Choose the point A as its centre and the distance between the assigned points (the line segment AB) as its radius.
- Invert the assigned circle into the newly constructed one with the help of circular inversion.
- After constructing the new circle with c. inversion, construct its tangents which pass through the point B.
- Construct two circles with the circular inversion of tangents of the circle constructed in the first step. The two circles, k1 and k2, are the solution.
