Steps of construction:
(i) Take three point A, B and C on the given Arc
(ii) Join AB and BC
(iii) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of chords AB and BC which interest each other at
point O, then O will required center of the required circle
(iv) Join OA
(v) With center O and radius OA, complete the circle
