Question

Draw a circle with the help of a bangle, take a point outside the circle. construct the pair of tangents from this point to the circle measure them. write conclusion.

Answer 1

Answer:

Steps of construction:-

(i) Draw a circle using a bangle.

(ii) Now draw 2 chords of this circle as QR and ST.

(iii) Take a point P outside the circle.

(iv) Draw perpendicular bisector of both the chords and let them meet at point O.

(v) Join point PO.

(vi) Draw bisector of PO and name the midpoint as U.

(vii) Now, taking U as a centre and UP as radius draw a circle.

(viii) Name the intersection point of both the circles as V and W.

(ix) Join PV and PW. These are the required tangents.
