Question

A circle is shown. Identify the center of the circle.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:STEP 1: Draw two straight, intersecting tangent lines onto the circle. The lines can be completely random. However, the process will be easier if you make them roughly square or rectangular.

STEP 2: Translate both of the lines to the other side of the circle. You will end up with four tangent lines forming a parallelogram or a rough rectangle.

STEP 3: Draw the diagonals of the parallelogram. The point where these diagonal lines intersect is the circle's center.

STEP 4: Check the accuracy of the center with a compass. The center should be on target as long as you didn't slip while translating the lines or when drawing the diagonals. Feel free to erase the parallelogram and diagonal lines.
