Answer to Problem 11PSB

An inscribed circle that has a radius of half the radius of the circle and is tangent at the given point, but excludes the given point.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given point and given circle.

Calculation:

The following figure shows the locus of midpoints of all chords that can be drawn from a given point of a given circle.

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 14.1, Problem 11PSB

The chords are drawn from the fixed point B and the red points are the mid points of the all the chords. These midpoints form a circle which represent the locus and also note that Point B should be excluded from the locus of the points.
