Question

Dra the two tangents from a point 10 cm away from centre of circle if radius 5 cm

Answer 1

so it's your diagram

STEP-1 Draw a circle of radius 5 cm. Take its centre as point O

STEP-2 Take point P at a distance of 10 cm from point O. Thus OP=10cm.

STEP-3 Draw a perpendicular bisector of OP intersecting OP at point Q.

STEP-4 Taking Q as centre and PQ as radius draw a circle which intersects previous circle at points M and N.

STEP-4 Thus PM and PN are your required tangents.

PM=PN=8.6 cm(approx.)
