Points Inside A Circle Equidistant From The Centre
Number of solutions: 2
GeoGebra construction
Steps
- We have a circle c and points C and D which lie inside the circle at the same distance from the centre.
- Draw the line f, which is the axis of the line segment CD.
- Name the points at the intersection of the circle c and the line f E and F.
- Draw the lines h and g, the line h being the axis of the line segment CE and the line g being the axis of the line segment CF.
- At the intersection of the lines g and f lies the point G, and at the intersection of the lines h and f lies the point H.
- Draw the circles k1 and k2. The circle k1 is centered at point H, passes through points C and D, and the point of contact with the circle c is point E. The circle k2 is centered at point G, passes through points C and D, and the point of contact with the circle c is point F.
GeoGebra construction
Steps
- Construct a helper circle with center at the point B such that the point A lies on it.
- Using circular inversion reflect the circle k about the helper circle.
- Construct both tangets of the newly drawn circle that intersect at the point A.
- Reflect these tangets using circular inversion about the helper circle.
- The resulting circles k1 and k2 are the solutions to this problem.
