Question

Draw a circle of radius 3 centimetres and draw a diameter draw tangents through the ends of this diameter​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of construction :

1) Draw a circle with O as centre and radius =3cm.

2) Draw any diameter AOB of this circle.

3) Construct ∠BOC=60

o

such that radius OC meets the circle at C.

4) Draw AM⊥AB and CN⊥OC.

Let AM and CN intersect each other at P. Then, PA and CN intersect each other at P.

Then, PA and PC are the required tangents to the given circle, inclined at an angle of 60

o
