4. Draw a line segment AB of length 8 cm. With A as centre draw a circle of radius 5 cm and with B as centre draw another circle of radius 3 cm. What do you observe?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) A line segment AB of 8cm is drawn.
(2) With A as centre and radius equal to 4cm, a circle is drawn.
(3) With B as centre and radius equal to 3cm, a circle is drawn.
Now we need to draw tangent from point A to the right circle, and from point B to the left circle. To draw tangents to the right circle, we need to draw a perpendicular bisector of line AB.
(4) Make a perpendicular bisector of AB. Let M be the mid-point of AB.
(5) Taking M as centre and MA as radius, draw a circle.
(6) Let the middle circle intersect the left circle at P, Q and right circle at R, S.
(7) Join BP, BQ, AR and AS.
(8) Thus BP, BQ, AR and AS are the required tangents.
Note: In order to solve this question, one can get confused while constructing circles with different radius such that a new circle formed should be intersected by the previous circles. Also we must concentrate that the required tangents will be formed from the intersection points of the new circle formed.
