Draw a circle of diameter 6.4 cm. Take a point R at a distance equal to its diameter from the centre. Draw tangents from point R.

SOLUTION

Steps of Construction:

Step 1: Construct a circle of radius =

6.42

= 3.2 cm with centre O.

Step 2: Take a point R in the exterior of the circle such that OR = 6.4 cm.

Step 3: Draw segment OR. Draw perpendicular bisector of segment OR to get its midpoint M.

Step 4: Draw a circle with radius OM and centre M.

Step 5: Name the point of intersection of the two circles as A and B.

Step 6: Draw line RA and line RB.
