hrough a given point. See Fig. 2096. Solution. — Let EBA be the given angle and C the given point.Draw OB the bisector of the angle. Draw CD so that OB is the per-pendicular bisector of CD. Construct a circle passing through pointsC and D and tangent to AB. Prove that 0 and 0 are the… … (3) The main problem. — To construct a circle tangent to the sidesof angle EBA and tangent to circle 0. Solution. —Drav! AB and EC parallel to the sides of ^ ABE,and at a distance from them equal to the radius of circle O. Con-struct circle 0 tangent to AB and EC, and passing through point0. The…
