Question

Draw a circle of radius 6 centimetre from a point 7 cm away from its Centre construct a pair of tangents to the circle and measure their length.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.construct a circle of radius 6cm.

2.mark a point(P) 7cm away from the centre using a ruler and join the center of the circle to that point.

3.perpendicularly bisect the line formed by using a compass.

4.with the point of intersection of the bisector and the line as centre and the distance between that point and the edge of the line as radius draw a circle .

5.the point where circle intersects the the circle originally drawn is then marked.

then just join the point P with the two newly formed points
