Give a construction to find the centre of the circle.
Give Explanation with diagram...
Answers
★ Steps of construction :
(a) Take any three points A, B and C on the circle.
(b) Join AB and BC.
(c) Draw perpendicular say LM of AB.
(d) Draw perpendicular PQ of BC.
(e) Let LM and PQ intersect at point O.
Then O is the centre of the circle.
★ Verification :
O lies on the perpendicular of AB.
OA = OB ……….(i)
O lies on the perpendicular of BC.
OB = OC ……….(ii)
From eq. (i) and (ii), we observe that
OA = OB = OC = (say)
Three non-collinear points A, B and C are at equal distance (r) from the point O inside the circle.
Hence, O is the centre of the circle.

Answer:
Draw a line across the circle to make a "chord"
Construct the perpendicular bisector of that chord to make a diameter of the circle.
Construct the perpendicular bisector of that diameter to get the center of the circle.
