tangent to a circle with centre o and
radius 3cm From a point p at a distance of 5 cm
from the centre.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction :

Draw a line segment PO = 7 cm.

From the point O, draw a circle of radius = 3 cm.

Draw a perpendicular bisector of PO. Let M be the mid-point of PO.

Taking M as centre and OM as radius draw a circle.

Let this circle intersects the given circle at the point Q and R.

Join PQ and PR.
