Step-by-step explanation:
1. Draw a circle with center A of radius 3cm, since the diameter of the circle is 6cm.
2. Draw a line AB of length 5cm from the center of the circle.
3. place the pointer of your compass on B and place the pencil end on A, draw a semicircle in this condition.
4. the semicircle will intersect the circle with center A on two different points C and D.
5. join BC and BD you get the two tangents. Then you can find the answer by measuring their lengths with a scale.
