step of construction
Given-
a circle ⭕ and s point p outside of the circle
To construct the tangent PQ and PR
(i) Join OP and bisect it
(ii) let S be the mid point of OP
(iii) Taking S as centre and PS as radius draw a circle
(iv) Let it intersect the given circle at the point Q and R
(v) Join PQ and PR. These are the required tangents.
I hope this will help you
