Question

circle (O, 4 cm) is given. point P be such that OP=9 cm. Draw the tangents to the circle through P. write the steps of construction ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of constructions-

1. Take a point O as a center and with radius 4 cm ,Draw a circle.

2.Take a point Point on its circumference .

3.Join O and P.

4.Draw a perpendicular to OP at point P.

5.Draw line APB amking angle of 90

∘

with OP,i.e.∠OPA=90

∘

.

Then APB is the required tangents.
