Question
Suppose You Are Given a Circle. Give a Construction to Find Its Centre.
Advertisements
Solution
Steps of constructions:
(1) Take three point A, B and C the given circle
(2) Join AB and BC
(3) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of chord AB and BC which intersect each other at O.
(4) Point O will be the required center of the circle because we know that the perpendicular
bisector of the cord always passes through the center
