Question

draw a tangent at any point R on the circle of radius scm and centre at P?​

Answer 1

The steps for construction of the tangent are:

1) Draw a circle of radius 3.5cm with P as its center.

2) Mark any point R on the circumference of the circle and join points P and R.

3) Extend ray PR.

4) With a compass, take point R as the center and any suitable radius to mark arcs on either side of R.

5) Draw a perpendicular to the ray PR passing through point R.

6) Hence, the required figure.
