Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Question:-

construct a pair of tangent to a circles of radius

4cm from an external point which is 6 cm away

from the circle

Solution:-

There are three steps for the construction

Step -1:-

Draw a rough diagram for the given information

Step -2:-

Construction Refer the above attachment

Step-3:-

Steps of Construction:-

1. Draw a circle with the radius 4cm and name the centre O.

2.Take a point P ,which is 6cm away from the centre of the circle and join O and P.

3.Construct perpendicular bisectors of OP and join X and Y. and intersecting point of XY and OP is M.

4.Take the radius OM = MP draw another circle which touches the previous circle at A and B.

5.Join P and A , P and B.

6.PA and PB are the pair of tangents to the given circle.
