Question

Construct a pair of tangents PQ and PR to a circle of radius 4cm from a point

P outside the circle 8cm away from the centre. Measure PQ and PR.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction : 1. Draw a line segment OP = 8 cm 2. Taking O as centre and another radius 4 cm, draw a circle. 3. Taking OP as diameter draw, another circle which intersects the first circle at Q and R. 4. Join P to Q and P to R. On measuring, we get PQ = PR = 5 cm.
