<h3>How to draw a line tangent to a circle?</h3>
When trying to construct a line tangent to circle O at a point say P, the steps are as follows;
Step 1; Draw a line from the center through P and beyond the circle.
Step 2; With the compass on P, draw an arc each side of P, creating Q and R.
Step 3; With the compass on Q, set its width to a setting greater than QP.
Step 4; Make an arc in a random location using Q as center with distance less than QR but greater than QP.
Step 5; Without changing the compass width, repeat step 4 for point R, creating point S.
Step 6; Draw a line through P and S.
Step 7; PS is the line tangent to circle O at point P
Looking at the steps and comparing to the question, it is clear that the error was in step 3 where they made the compass on Q equal to QP rather than greater than QP.
