Steps are given to draw tangent and normal to the involute of a circle (center is C) at a point N on it. Arrange the steps. i. With CN as diameter describe a semi-circle cutting the circle at M. ii. Draw a line joining C and N. iii. Draw a line perpendicular to NM and passing through N which is tangent. iv. Draw a line through N and M. This line is normal.

Geometrical Construction topics include: Parallel & perpendicular lines construction, drawing regular polygons and tangents, ellipse construction, parabola and hyperbola construction, cycloidal curves and spiral construction. Geometric construction is the process of creating geometric objects using a compass and a straightedge. It is a part of pure geometry, which does not use numbers, formulae, or a coordinate system.  Geometric construction involves drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles, and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor.  Related...
