Determine the center of a given circle. Given three points not on a line, construct the circle that passes through them. Construct tangents to circles. Circumscribe and inscribe circles about and within triangles and regular polygons.


Remarks


Example: Given a circle, find its center by drawing the perpendicular bisectors of two chords.

Example: Given a circle and a point on the circle, construct a tangent to the circle, passing through the given point.

Example: Draw an acute triangle and construct the circumscribed circle.
