Points on in or Outside Circle

Which of the following is the first step of constructing the tangent line from a point outside of circle C in the correct order.

• Place the compass on the midpoint of CX, adjust its length to reach the end point, and draw an arc across the circle.

• Construct the perpendicular bisector of segment CX.

• Draw a line connecting X to one of the points where the arc crosses the circle (tangent points)

• Draw a line segment connecting point X to the center of the circle.
