Question

Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take two points P and Q on one of its extended diameter each at a distance of 7 cm from its centre. Draw tangents to the circle from these two points P and Q.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Construction:

1. Draw a line segment PQ of 14 cm.

2. Now, mark the midpoint O of PQ.

3. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of PO and OQ which intersects at points R and S on PQ.

4. With centre R and radius RP draw a circle.

5. With centre S and radius, SQ draw a circle.

6. And now, with centre O and radius 3 cm draw another circle which intersects the previous circles at the points A, B, C, and D.

7. Finally, join PA, PB, QC and QD. Thus, PA, PB, QC, and QD are the required tangents.

Answer 2

Answer:

steps of construction-

Explanation:

1. draw the circle with Centre O of radius 8 cm from a point or draw the line segment PQ and op of 7 cm and two sides of a circle
2. bisect the line segment PQ and oq.
