Given an arc of a circle, show how to complete the circle.

Steps of construction:

(i) Take three points A, B and C on the given arc


(ii) Join AB and BC


(iii) Draw the perpendicular bisectors of chord AB and BC which intersect each other at point O. Then, O will be the required centre of the required circle.


(iv) Join OA


(v) With centre O and radius OA, complete the circle
