TANGENTS TO A POINT ON A CIRCLE
To draw a tangent to a circle at a given point on the circumference of a circle.
First draw a line from the centre of the circle through the point of contact. This line is the called the normal. It is at 90° to the tangent.
Now to draw a line through the point of contact that is at 90° to the normal. This is the tangent to the circle at point P.
…………………………….
To draw a tangent to a circle from a given point outside the circumference of a circle.
The construction of a tangent to a circle from a point outside the circumference of the circle is based on the angle in a semicircle theorem. To draw the tangent first draw a line from the point Q to the centre of the circle.
Now bisect the distance between the centre and Q.
This finds the centre of a semicircle that passes through C and Q. Draw a semicircle passing through these points.
This semicircle cuts the circle at the point of contact between the tangent and the circle. Label the point of contact P.
Once P, the point of contact, has been found then draw the tangent through the points Q and P.

Section B: Long Questions
This topic appears in Section B of the Technical Graphics higher level paper. It is generally Question 1. This question will include the construction of a plan, elevation and end-view of a given object. These object will usually contain a cut cylinder. Also a true shape of on of the surfaces is generally required.

This topic appears in Section B of the Technical Graphics higher level paper. It is generally Question 2. This question will include the construction of a plan, elevation and end-view of a given object. These object will contain a surface that is rotated around a hinge. Drawing this surfaces in its rotated position is generally required.
