Question

draw a circle of radius 4cm,and construct a pair of tangents to the circle from a point 8cm away from its center​

Answer 1

Answer:

*Draw a line segment of OP = 8 cm.

*With O as centre and radius 4 cm draw a circle.

*Draw perpendicular bisector of OP. *Let is bisect at point M.

*With M as centre and radius OM or

MP draw another circle.

*Mark the points of intersection of both the circles as A and B.

*Join points P, A; point P, B.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a line segment OP = 8 cm 2. Taking O as centre and another radius 4 cm, draw a circle. 3. Taking OP as diameter draw, another circle which intersects the first circle at Q and R. 4. Join P to Q and P to R. On measuring, we get PQ = PR = 5 cm.
