Question

draw a circle of diameter 8 cm from the point p 7cm away from its centre construct a pair of tangent to the circle​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction :

1. Draw a line segment OA=8 cm.

2.O as centre and radius 4 cm draw a circle.

3. Taking OA as diameter draw another circle which intersects the given circle at B and C.

4. Join A to B and A to C.

Result:AB and AC are required tangents.

∴AB=AC=5.9 cm.
