To choose: The correct option that is useless to construct a tangent to given

Answer to Problem 10.6EX
The correct option is (d).
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Consider a circle with center O and a point P outside the circle.
Calculation:
To construct a tangent to circle with center
from point P outside the circle follow the steps given below:
1. Connect points O and P to draw line
2. Construct the perpendicular bisector of
3. Consider M as the center and MP as the radius. Now, draw a circle. It can be seen that the circle intersect
4. Connect points O and X to draw line
Figure (1)
From the figure it can be seen that
So, to draw a line parallel to
Therefore, the correct option is (d).
