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

Sol. Steps of construction:

1. A circle of 3 cm radius is drawn.

2. Points P and Q are taken on extended diameter AB such that OP=OQ=7cm

3. Perpendicular bisectors of OP and OQ are drawn meeting OP at L and OQ at L.

4. With L and L′ as centres and OL and OL′ as radii circles are drawn meeting the circle at S,T and S′,T∘ respectively.

6. Then PS, PT, QS", QT" are the
