Question

Leo is constructing a tangent line from point Q to circle P. What is his next step? Mark the point of intersection of circle P and segment PQ. Construct arcs from point P that are greater than half the length of segment PQ. Construct a circle from point Q with the radius PQ. Plot a new point R and create and line perpendicular to segment PQ from point R

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

The next step to constructing a tangent line from Q to circle P is to construct the perpendicular bisector of the segment PQ.

For this, Leo can construct arcs from point P and from point Q that are greater than half the length of segment PQ.

Answer

The next step is to construct arcs from point P that are greater than half the length of segment PQ.
