Question

Draw a circle with diameter 5.2 cm. Let T be a point on it. Without making
se of the centre of the circle, draw the tangent to the circle through T. .answer the question
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The radius of the circle=5.2cm.

Construction:

(i) With O as the centre, draw a circle of radius 5.2cm.

(ii) Take a point P on the circle.

(iii) Through P, draw any chord PQ.

(iv) Mark a point R distinct from P and Q on the circle so that P, Q and R are in counter clockwise direction.

(v) Join PR and QR.

(vi) At P, construct ∠QPT=∠PRQ.

(vii) Produce TP to T' to get the required tangent line T'PT.
