CONSTRUCTION OF A SPOON WITH TANGENTS

Steps to construct a spoon:

Step 1. Construct an ovoid with a major axis AB of 6 cm.
Step 2. Draw the segment OM 10 cm long. Then use centre point M and a radius of 1 cm. Draw a circumference.
Step 3. Use centre point O and a radius of 9.9 cm. Draw an arc that intersects the circumference with centre M at points R and S.
Step 4. Draw the segments OR and
OS. Then draw a parallel line to OR at a distance of 1.3 cm from OR.
Draw a parallel line to OS at a distance of 1.3 cm from OS.
Step 5. Use centre point O and a radius of OD plus 1.3 cm. Draw an arc that intersects the parallel lines to OR and OS at points H and K.
Step 6. Use centre point H and a radius of 1.3 cm. Draw a
circumference. Then use centre point K and the same radius to draw another circumference. These circumferences define the arcs FG and NP.
Step 7. Redraw the shape of the spoon as shown in the figure.
