8.7 Circle through a point P and tangent to a line L with a given radius R.
Their solution: Three pages of formulas and two pages of code.
Geometric solution: The circle center C must lie on the circle with
center P and radius R and on the line resulting from displacing L by
distance R towards P. This is just a circle vs line intersection problem.
