Question

draw a line segment AB of lenth 6 cm draw a circle with AB as diameter in this circle draw a chord of lenth 4cm shade the minor segment of the circle

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps to construct:

Step 1: Draw a line segment AB=6 cm.

Step 2: Draw its perpendicular bisector bisecting it at point O.

Step 3: With center O and radius OB, draw a circle.

Step 4: Extend AB to point P such that OP=5 cm.

Step 5: Draw its perpendicular bisector intersecting it at point M.

Step 6: With center M and radius OM, draw a circle which intersects the given circle at T and S.

Step 7: Join OT, OS, PT and PS. Hence, PT and PS are the required tangents to the given circle.

Step 8: On measuring each tangent is 4 cm long. PT=PS=4 cm.
