The chords of the outer inner are equal [Ex. 5, p. 181] and are bisected at the pt. of contact [Ex. 4, p. 181]. Hence the tangents, that is the halfchords, are equal. 4. The tangent at an extremity of a diameter is perp. to the diameter. .. the chords par. to it are bisected by the diameter [III. 3]. 5. The required locus is the perp. to the given st. line through the given pt. [II. 19]. 6. The required locus is the st. line which is par1. to the two given st. lines and equidistant from them. 7. The required locus is the pair of bisectors of the angles between the two given st. lines [Ex. 1, p. 182]. 8. If the lines are par1. there is no solution unless the given radius is equal to half the perp. distance between the parls. If they are not par1. let them be OX, OY; at O draw OA, OB equal to given radius and perp. to OX, OY respectively.

Describe a circle concentric with given and with radius equal to the distance of the centre from CD. From A draw a tangent to this . The tangent is the required chord. If A is without the circle, the given line must be not greater than the diameter. If A is within the circle, the given line must also be not less than the chord through A perp. to the line joining A to the centre. 10.

Join AE cutting the in D. Draw DF perp. to ED meeting EBF in F. Then the tangent DF = AB, the given length. Hence F is the required pt. 17. See fig. p. 180. At E the centre make the angle BEA equal to the complement of half the given angle. Let EA meet the tangent at B in A, and the BCD in D. Draw DF perp. to ED meeting EB in F. Then DFE = BAE = complement of BEA = half the given angle. Hence the tangents from F contain the angle required [III. 17. Cor.]. B the Draw 18.
