How to construct a circle tangent to a given circle at the near side,
from a center outside that circle?
|
| 1. |
| Start with the given circle, and determine the center of the tangent circle (outside the given circle).
|
|
| 2. |
| Draw the connecting line between the center of circle 1 and the given point (the center of the tangent circle to be constructed).
|
|
| 3. |
| Construct a circle centered at the given point (1), passing through the intersection of line 2 and circle 1.
|
|
| 4. |
| Circle 3 is the circle to be constructed. It has the given point as its center and is tangent to the given circle at the near side.
