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