Question

D) Draw a seg AB oflength 8.5 cm, with centre A, draw a circle of radius dem and with centre B.
draw another circle of radius 3 cm. From the centre of each circle draw a tangent to a other
circle.​

Answer 1

Steps of construction:-

(i) Draw a line segment AB having a length of 8 cm.

(ii) Now, taking A as a centre draw a circle of radius 4 cm. And taking B as a centre draw a circle of radius 3 cm.

(iii) Bisect the line AB and name the mid-point as C.

(iv) Taking C as a centre and AC as radius draw a circle.

(v) Name the intersection points of the circle as P, Q, R, S.

(vi) Join the lines and these are our required tangents.
