Question

Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. From a point P, 6 cm away from its centre, construct a pair of tangents
to the circle. Measure the lengths of the tangents.

PLEASEEE ANSWER !!

Answer 1

Answer:

PQ = PR = 6.3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Draw a line segment PO = 7 cm.

2. From the point O, draw a circle of radius = 3 cm.

3. Draw a perpendicular bisector of PO. Let M be the mid-point of PO.

4. Taking M as centre and OM as radius draw a circle.

5. Let this circle intersects the given circle at the point Q and R.

6. Join PQ and PR.

On measuring we get

PQ = PR = 6.3 cm
