Step-by-step explanation:

Given, a circle of radius 3 cm whose Centre is O and a point P , 5 cm away from its centre.

STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION:

1.Draw circle with O as centre and radius = 3 cm. Take a point P such that OP= 5 cm.

2. Draw the bisector of OP which intersect OP at M.

3. Taking M as centre and MO as radius, draw a dotted circle. Let this circle cuts the given circuit A and B.

4.Join PA & PB.

5. Thus , PA & PB are the required tangents. By measurement using scale PA= PB = 4 cm.
