Question

Using a ruler and compasses only In the same diagram draw a circle which passes through the points A B and C and mark its centre O

Accepted Answer

Solution The eccentricity is 0 and the two foci are coincident in a circle which is a special type of ellipse A circle is also known as the location of points that are evenly spaced apart from the centre Steps to construct Step 1 Draw a line segment AB 6cm Step 2 At point A draw a ray making an angle of 60o Step 3 With B as the center and radius 52cm draw an arc which intersects the ray at C Step 4 Join BC Step 5 Draw the perpendicular bisector of sides AB and BC which intersects each other at point O Step 6 With center as O and radius OA draw a circle which touches through the points A B C
