Question

Construct a circle whose radius is equal to 4 cm let P be a point whose distance from its Centre is 6 CM construct two tangents to it from p

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

1) Draw a circle with centre O whose radius=4cm.

2) Take a point P which is 6cm away from the centre with a scale. Join the centre with this point.

3) Now Draw the perpendicular bisector of OP by keeping the compass at P, taking a measure more than half of the length of the line OP and drawing arcs on either side of OP.From O do the same.

4) Let the perpendicular bisector intersect OP at M.

5) With M as centre and OM radius, draw a circle.

6) The circle with OM radius intersects the given circle at A and B. Join AP and BP.

Therefore AP and BP are the required tangents.
