Is there any way to draw a radius tangent to a circle and a point?

 

How can you have a tangent to a point? :cry:

 

I can see that Ipseifert is clever enough to do it, but I would need more information :?

By definition a point can't be tangent to a curve so I assumed the OP wanted the curve to pass through the point.
