Question

You are constructing a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle is to draw a circle and a point outside the circle. You have drawn the circle, a point outside the circle and connected the center of the circle to the point outside the circle. You found the midpoint of the segment. Next you must use your compass. After you set it, where should you put the point?

A.) the center of the circle
B.) the point outside the circle
C.) the midpoint of the segment
D.) the intersection of the segment and the circle

Answer 1

I think its C I am not sure hope it helps 

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

1.Draw a Circle of any radius.

2.Take a point outside on the circle.

3.Draw a line segment Joining center to the point lying outside.

4.Draw the perpendicular bisector of that line segment.

5.Keep one end of the compass on the midpoint of the line segment, and other end of the compass on the center or other end of line segment,and draw a circle.

6.The points where this circle,cuts the circle drawn in the beginning,are the points,from where you can draw tangents which will intersect at the point which lies outside that we have taken in the beginning.

Option C : the midpoint of the segment
