How does one draw a line tangent from a circle angle 24 degrees ?

line ’ tangent from curve’ tool, click circle, type <24 hit enter but nothing occurs.

a) Draw a line from centre of circle to rim, constraining direction to 66 degrees (=90-24). Draw a line perpendicular from the first line, starting where it intersected the rim.

or
b) Draw a horizontal line from the top quad of the circle. Rotate the line -24 degrees about the centre of the circle.

Hi, thats two simple solutions, now why didnt I think of that. preoccupied with thinking there should be a command for such.

would such an option be useful ?
