Question

1 point
4. Draw a circle with centre P
and radius 4 cm. Take point Q at
a distance 7 cm from the
centre. Construct tangents to
the circle from point Q. Write
length of tangent segments.*
Your answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction:-

Construct a circle of radius 4cm.

P is a point 7cm away from the centre of the circle.

Join OP.

Draw perpendicular bisector of OP which intersects OP at M.

Taking M as centre and OM as radius draw a circle which intersects the circle C

at A and B.

Join PA and PB.

On measuring we find PA=PB=7.7cm.

Hence PA and PB are required tangents
