Question

Construct a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 3 cm which are inclined to each other at an angle of 100◦.

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction :

1) Draw a circle with O as centre and radius =3cm.

2) Draw any diameter AOB of this circle.

3) Construct ∠BOC=60

o

such that radius OC meets the circle at C.

4) Draw AM⊥AB and CN⊥OC.

Let AM and CN intersect each other at P. Then, PA and CN intersect each other at P.

Then, PA and PC are the required tangents to the given circle, inclined at an angle of 60

o
