Answer:
I can't draw it for you but i can give you the steps to draw the figure yourself
Step-by-step explanation:
Given-:
1. A line segment AB of length 10 cm.
2. Taking A as centre draw a circle of radius 4 cm.
3. Taking A as centre draw a circle of radius 4 cm
A. Now, we need to draw the tangents from point A to the right circle, and from point B to the left circle.
To draw the tangents to the right circle, we need to draw a perpendicular bisector to the line AB.
B. After making the perpendicular, mark M as it's Mid-Point.
C. Now, taking M as the centre and MA as the radius draw a circle.
D. Now, wherever the circle with radius MA intersects the two circles, we need to draw a line from that point to the radius of the opposite circle.
Bit confusing so, the circle with radius MA will intersect the other two circles with radius 4 and 5 respectively. Now, in the circle A (4cm Radius) The circle with radius MA intersects in at two points. Same with the circle B (5cm Radius). Now this is a tricky part. After all of this, Join the points on the circle A to the centre of circle B and vice-versa.
After you do this, you'll have your desired figure.
Hope i proved it :)
