Solution

Para construir una línea tangente al círculo en el punto 𝑃 usando una regla y un compás, sigue estos pasos:

  1. Dibuja una lĂ­nea que pase por el centro đ¶ y el punto 𝑃. Esta lĂ­nea es el radio del cĂ­rculo.
  2. Utilizando el compĂĄs, traza un arco con centro en 𝑃 y radio igual a la distancia entre 𝑃 y đ¶.
  3. Marca el punto donde el arco intersecta la lĂ­nea que pasa por đ¶ y 𝑃. LlĂĄmalo punto đ·.
  4. Con el compĂĄs, traza un arco con centro en đ· y radio igual a la distancia entre đ· y 𝑃.
  5. Marca el punto donde este nuevo arco intersecta el círculo. Llámalo punto 𝐾.
  6. Dibuja una lĂ­nea que pase por los puntos 𝑃 y 𝐾. Esta lĂ­nea es perpendicular a la lĂ­nea que contiene los puntos đ¶ y 𝑃.

Por lo tanto, la respuesta correcta es:

Construir una lĂ­nea que pase por el punto 𝑃 y que sea perpendicular a la lĂ­nea que contiene los puntos đ¶ y 𝑃.
