Question

6. Let ABC be a right triangle in which AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm and Z B = 90°. BD is the
perpendicular from B on AC. The circle through B, C, D is drawn. Construct the tangents
from A to this circle.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Draw a line AB=6 cm

2. Taking radius =8 cm, draw an are at C,BC=8 cm

3. Join AC

4. With B as centre, draw a perpendicular on AC

at D

5. Make a circle through B,C,D

6. Draw tangents from A on the circular.
