Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Tikz (Intersect Circle and Triangle

[coachbennett1981]

Hey Everyone,

I am new to using Tikz, so forgive my code as there is probably a much easier way to do this. I am trying to draw a point where segment OP and the circle intersect. Is there an easy way to do this? I am using tkz-euclid package. Here is my code:

Code: Select all

Thank you for your help and time.

If the point is to be drawn with commands of tkz-euclide, then you could extend your example as follows.

Apart from that I have made a few changes.
