Question
Give a method to find the centre of a given circle.
✓
Answer
Steps of Construction:
$1.$ Take three points $A, B$ and $C$ on the given circle.
$2.$ Join $AB$ and $BC$.
$3.$ Draw the perpendicular bisectors of the chord $AB$ and $BC$ which intersect each other at $O$.
$4.$ Point $O$ will give the required circle because we know that, the Perpendicular bisectors of chord always pass through the centre.
