there you go!!
i hope this helps
Ans. To construct: A right triangle ABC with AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm and B = BD is the perpendicular from B on AC and the tangents from A to this circle.
Steps of Construction:
(a) Draw a right triangle ABC with AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm and B = 90°.
Also, draw perpendicular BD on AC.
(b) Join AO and bisect it at M (here O is the centre of circle through B, C, D).
(c) Taking M as centre and MA as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersects the given circle at the points B and E.
(d) Join AB and AE.
Then AB and AE are the required two tangents.
Justification: Join OE.
Then, AEO is an angle in the semicircle.
AEO =
AE _|_OE
Since OE is a radius of the given circle, AE has to be a tangent to the circle. Similarly, AB is also a tangent to the circle.
