Construction 15: To construct a tangent to a given circle through a given point outside the circle Given: Circle O and point P outside the circle To construct: A tangent to circle O from P Construction: Draw OP, and make OP the diameter of a new circle Q. Connect P to A and B, the intersections of circles O and Q. Then PA and PB are tangents. (< OAP and Z OBP are right angles, since angles inscribed in semicircles are right angles)
