Construction 14: To construct a tangent to a given circle through a given point on the circle. Given: Circle O and point P on the circle To construct: A tangent to circle O at P Construction: Draw radius OP and extended it outside the circle. Construct AB L OP at P. AB is the required tangent. (A line perpendicular to a radius at its outer extremity is a tangent to the circle.)
