Hi Sven, Barry has the right solution above (thank you Barry). Just in case it's not clear it's done by creating this construction geometry -

A 57mm circle centered on the juncture point:



Offset these lines also by 57mm:



The intersection between the circle and the offset lines will yield the center of the arcs:



So then draw an arc from center point, put the center point onto that circle/offset line intersection, first point of arc at the juncture point and the last point at the snap point on the original lines.

The circle or arc tangent commands can do "tangent to 3 curves", "tangent to 2 curves through a point", or "tangent to 2 curves with a specified radius".

But in your case here you don't want any those, you want "tangent to one curve through a point with a specified radius".

So the circle or arc tangent commands won't help for this case but this type of "specified radius through a point" problem can be solved by some construction geometry, you first set up a circle of the target radius centered on the point.
