Suppose you are given a circle. Give a construction to find its centre.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

let the points on the circle as described in figure as P, Q & R
join PQ & QR
draw 2 `_|_` CS to the line PQ & CT to the line respectively
S & T are midpoints of PQ & QR
draw a line from point S & T
which is `_|_` to line PQ & QR
inter section point of lines is centre of circle
thus we can get the centre
