Question

1) Draw a circle of a radius 3.6 cm. Draw a tangent to the circle at any point on it without
using the center.​

Answer 1

Draw a circle of radius 3.6cm.

Draw any chord CA.

Take another point B in an alternate segment, join AB and BC.

Put compass on point A and with any suitable radius cut an arc intersecting the sides of ∠BAC.

Now, put compass on point C and with the same radius cut an arc intersecting the chord BC.

Taking the radius equal to MN with centre R, draw an arc intersecting the previously drawn arc and name the point P.

Now, draw a line PQ.

So, PQ is the required tangent to the circle.
