Choose a point S. Using your protractor, draw a circle with S as the center at the desired radius. 2. Choose a point P on the circle boundary and draw a line through S and P. Call the line l. 3. Construct a normal to l through the point P. Name the normal t. This is the tangent to the circle at the point P.
