Question

draw a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 5cm which are inclined to each other at an angle of 45

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of Construction:

i) Draw a circle with centre O and radius BC = 5 cm

ii) Draw arcs making an angle of 180º - 45º = 135º at O such that AOB = 135º

iii) AT A and B, draw two rays making an angle of 90º at each point which meet each other at point P, outside the circle. iv) AP and BP are the required tangents which make an angle of 45º with each other at P.
