Point on One of Two Intersecting Circles, Inside the Other
Number of solutions: 2
GeoGebra construction
Steps
- Choose the circle of inversion so that its center is at the given point.
- Apply the inversion to both given circles. One of them transforms into another circle, and the second one into a line.
- In the chosen inversion, the solution circles are mapped to tangents to the image of the circle that are parallel to the line, which is the image of the second circle.
- Invert the found tangents back to obtain the solution circles.
- The problem has two solutions.
