Question

Construction :
1.
Draw a tangent to a given circle with centre O from a point 'R' outside the circle. How many tangents
can be drawn to the circle from that point ?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let me explain you the answer..

Suppose a circle with center O with exterior point R, then if you start constructing a line from R to the circumference of the given circle it would be termed as 'tangent' which is perpendicular to the circle in simple words it will make 90° angle to circle.

And only 2 tangents can be drawn by a single point

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 tangents can be drawn from an external point of a circle
