Question

Draw a circle of radius 3 cm mark a point P on the circle .Draw tangent to the circle through point P using the centre of the circle​

Answer 1

1.Draw a circle with radius 3cm

2.Take a point P on the circle.

3.Through P, draw any chord PQ

4.Mark a point R either in major arc or in minor arc.

5.Join PR and QR

6.AtP,construct∠QPT

equal to ∠PRQon the opposite side of the chordPQ

7.Produce TP.

Hope this'll help you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Steps of construction :

1.Take a point O as center and with radius 3 cm ,draw a circle.

2.Mark a point P outside the circle such that OP=5 cm.join O to P.

3.Draw a perpendicular bisector of OP that cuts OP at M.

4.With M as a center and radius MO (or MP),draw a circle cutting the first circle at A and B.

5.Join P to A and P to B

Then PA and PB are the required two tangents

The length of the tangent are PA=PB=4 cm.
