=== Dutta's construction === There is a construction of the inverse point to ''A'' with respect to a circle ''Γ'' that is ''independent'' of whether ''A'' is inside or outside ''Γ''.<ref name=SD>Dutta, Surajit (2014) [http://forumgeom.fau.edu/FG2014volume14/FG201422index.html A simple property of isosceles triangles with applications] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180421201921/http://forumgeom.fau.edu/FG2014volume14/FG201422index.html |date=2018-04-21 }}, [[Forum Geometricorum]] 14: 237β240</ref> Consider a circle ''Γ'' with center ''O'' and a point ''A'' which may lie inside or outside the circle ''Γ''. * Take the intersection point ''C'' of the ray ''OA'' with the circle ''Γ''. * Connect the point ''C'' with an arbitrary point ''B'' on the circle ''Γ'' (different from ''C'' and from the point on ''Γ'' antipodal to ''C'') * Let ''h'' be the reflection of ray ''BA'' in line ''BC''. Then ''h'' cuts ray ''OC'' in a point ''A{{'}}''. ''A{{'}}'' is the inverse point of ''A'' with respect to circle ''Γ''.<ref name=SD/>{{rp|Β§ 3.2}}
