Question

Use geometric construction.

1.) Draw a line AM (which is of line PY) to form angle PAM oriented 45 degrees from the horizontal. Point A is located at the midpoint
of line PY. Hint: Point M should be roughly above Point P.
2.) Draw a line AH that is perpendicular with respect to line AM to the right. Line AH is of line PY.
3.) Then, draw a circle I with radius equal to PY and tangent to both lines PA and AM.
4.) Next, draw another circle C, with radius equal to of circle I. Circle C should be tangent to both lines AH and AY.
5.) After, draw internally tangent lines to circle I and circle C.
6.) Finally, draw an arc that is externally tangent to both circle I and circle C. The radius of this externally tangent arc is 1.5 times that of
circle I. Label the point of tangency as J and K. Hint: This externally tangent arc can be drawn roughly above circles I and C.
Additional Instruction: Explain the steps how you were able to the arc that is tangent to both circle I and circle C.
