Deleting part of a circle

I want to use part of a circle to connect two lines at an angle to each other. If I draw the circe such that each line forms a tangent to the circle is there any way in which I can delete the remainder of the circle or should I be approaching this in a different way?

Hi,
Removing part of a circle requires two cutpoints.
So some trim methods may ask for a second trimming entity.

Auto Trim (AX) will do that for you.
Just indicate the part that has to stay.

There are many ways to do this ... You could use Round (RN) between two lines.

Round produced the result I was after with much less effort than doing what I was proposing to do. Thanks so much for that suggestion.
