Question

2 Draw a circle with radius 3.5 cm. Draw the diameter MN. Draw tangent at M and N. Write your observations about the tangent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction :

1. Draw a circle with O as centre and radius = 3.5 cm.

2. Draw any diameter AOB of this circle.

3. Construct

∠

such that ray OX meets the circle at C.

4. Draw

. Let AM and CN intersect each other at a point P.

5. Then, PA and PC are the required tangents (which are perpendicular to each other)
