Question

draw a circle of radius 6cm.from a point 10cm away from its centre,construct the pair of tangents to the circle and measure their lengths​

Answer 1

STEPS OF CONSTRUCTION :

1. Draw a circle with radius 6 cm.
2. Draw a point p which is away 10 cm from the center.
3. Now, Join the PO line and perpendicular bisector of PO.
4. Take m as the mid point of PO.
5. Take m as center and draw a circle with radius MO.
6. Intersect the circle of points Q and R.
7. Now, Join the line PQ and PR.

$\therefore$ PQ and PR are the required tangents.
