Answer 1

Refer the attached image for diagram.

Explanation:

We need to draw a tangent AB to a circle with center O having point of contact at the point P.

Steps for construction:

1. Take a compass and measure a radius of some length.
2. Now, with the help of that compass and draw a circle.
3. Name the center of the circle with O.
4. Now, draw a tangent to the circle at any point on the circumference of the circle.
5. Now, name the ends of the tangent as AB.
6. Name the point (point of contact), where tangent meets the circle as P.

So, in this way, we can draw a tangent to a circle.
