Question

construct the tangent to the circle of radius 3.2 CM the angle between two tangents of 72 degree measure the length of the tangents do verification​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Given: The radius of the circle=3.2cm.

Construction:

(i) With O as the centre, draw a circle of radius 3.2cm.

(ii) Take a point P on the circle.

(iii) Through P, draw any chord PQ.

(iv) Mark a point R distinct from P and Q on the circle so that P, Q and R are in counter clockwise direction.

(v) Join PR and QR.

(vi) At P, construct ∠QPT=∠PRQ.

(vii) Produce TP to T' to get the required tangent line T'PT.
