Question

Jamal wants to construct a tangent line to circle O that passes through point M. He started by drawing a segment from point O to point M. Next he constructed the midpoint of segment OM. Then he set his compass to the length of OP and constructed an arc with center P intersecting the circle at point G. What is the next step in his construction.

Answer 1

B)Set the compass to the width of OP. (i just took the test)

Answer 2

The next step in his construction would have to be constructing the line between point M and point G. This is now your tangent line to the circle O. Additionally, you can also construct another tangent line that also passes through point M!
