Question
Suppose you are given a circle. Give a construction to find its centre.
✓
Answer
Steps of Construction:
- Take three points A, B and C on the given circle.
- Join AB and BC.
- Draw the perpendicular bisectors of chord AB and BC which intersect each other at O.
- Point O will be the required centre of the circle because we know that the perpendicular bisector of the chord always passes through the centre.
