Leo is constructing a tangent line from point Q to circle P. What is his next step? circle P and point Q on the outside of circle P, a segment is created from points P and Q, a set of arcs are created from point P above and below segment PQ that are greater than half the distance of segment PQ, another set of arcs are created from point Q above and below segment PQ that are greater than half the distance of segment PQ, the intersections of the created arcs are connected with a line creating point R on segment PQ Construct a circle from point Q with the radius PR. Construct the perpendicular bisector of segment PQ. Construct a circle from point R with the radius RP. Construct the perpendicular bisector of segment RQ.

Answer:

The answer is "Construct a circle from point R with the radius RP".

Explanation:

Please find the diagram to this question in the attached file.

In this question, the line is perpendicular to the PQ and the bisector perpendicular to the PQ throughout the given diagram, and in the next section, it draws the tangent through point A to the circle by drawing 'Draw a circle with radius RP through point R. It circle crosses that given circle P in 2 points. Its tangents could only be achieved with any of these new points by adding point Q.
