Question

To construct a curve of radius r tangential to two intersecting lines (at any angle, as shown on page 18), what initial construction technique is used to find the center (O) of the desired curve?
Options
A Drawing arcs of radius r from the intersection point of the lines.
B Bisecting the angle formed by the two lines.
C Constructing lines parallel to the given lines at a distance r.
Correct Answer
D Using a set square to draw lines at a specific angle from the intersection.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 18, step 1, states: 'Construct lines parallel to the lines at a distance r away to intersect at O.' This intersection point O is the center of the tangential curve.

Hint

Review 'To Construct a Curve Tangential to two Lines' on page 18, focusing on step 1.
