Hi all,

How do I find the center of a circle given a point (tangent to the circle) and the radius.

Thanks,

What does that mean? Any point on a tangent or the point of contact of tangent and circle?

This problem does not have a single solution, instead, the solution of where the center of the circle could be is a circle in itself; in other words, the locus of the solution is a circle with center at the point given.

A point cannot be tangent to a circle, so it's not clear what you are talking about
