The full details of this problem is given as follows
Construct a circle γ with center Oγ , and
place two points A and B inside γ. That does not lie on the edge of the circle. Explain the construction of a point C, such that the circle ABC=β, is internally tangential to γ.
Now ABC means a circle that passes through the points A,B and C. I have made a drawing, but I am unable to mathematicaly construct the point C.
I already know that for most pairs A,B there are two possible choices for C. Eg C1 and C2. See the following figure
Can anyone show me or help me in finding the placement of C, given A and B?
The figure is only but a sketch, but I know that the centre of the circle obviously has to lie on the perpendicular bisector of A and B, after that I am clueless.
