suppose you are given a circle .give construction to find its center
Answers
☆Take three points on the given circle and join them.
☆ Draw perpendicular bisector of two cords formed by joining points.
☆ The point where perpendicular bisectors intersect , will be the centre of the circle.
Draw a circle. Then take points P, Q, R on the circle.Join PR and RQ. You may know that perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the centre. So, we construct perpendicular bisectors of PR and RQ .Take a compass. With point P as pointly end and R as pencil end of the compass, mark an arc above and below PR .Do same with R as pointly end and P as pencil end of the compass.Join the points intersected by the arcs.The line joined is the perpendicular bisector of PR.Take a compass. With point R as pointly end and Q as pencil end of the compass, mark an arc above and below RQ.Do same with Q as pointly end and R as pencil end of the compass. Join the points intersected by the arcs. The line joined is the perpendicular bisector of RQ.The point where the two perpendicular bisectors intersect is the centre of the circle. I mark it as o you can see the attachment.
