Answer:
Construct a circle of radius 4cm.
P is a point 7cm away from the centre of the circle.
Join OP.
Draw perpendicular bisector of OP which intersects OP at M.
Taking M as centre and OM as radius draw a circle which intersects the circle C
11 at A and B.
Join PA and PB.
On measuring we find PA=PB=7.7cm.
Hence PA and PB are required tangents.
