Answer:

It is always drawn along the tangent of the circle at the point where we need the velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

When object is revolving in circular path in either clockwise of counterclockwise direction then in that case the direction of velocity is always determined by making a tangent at the position on the circle where we wish to find the velocity

Direction of tangent is always by sense of rotation either clockwise or counter clockwise.
