Question

Draw a tangent to a given circle with centre O from a point R outside of the circle. How many tangents can be drawn to a circle from that point

Answer 1

Let me help you with this question.

If a tangent is drawn to a given circle with center O from a point R outside of the circle then two tangents can be drawn to a circle from any point outside the circle and these tangents are equal in length.

Hopefully it helps. Thanks.

Answer 2

Answer:

• two tangents can be drawn to a circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Draw a circle with any radius and mark a point R outside the circle.
• Join O to R and draw a perpendicular bisector of it.let p be mid point of R O.
• Takimg P as centre and PR or OP as radius,draw a circle.Let it intersect given circle at points A and B.
• Join to R to A and R to B.

RA and RB are the required tangents.
