Answer 1

Answer:

hope it helps u and pls mark as brainliest

Answer 2

To draw two tangents from a point outside the circle and at a distance 62 cm from the center of the circle.

Explanation:

The process of drawing two tangents and a circle is very easy. You just have to keep in mind that a tangent is a straight line that touches the circle at a single point.

Step 1. AS we are not given the radius measure, so you can draw a circle with center C and any given radius.

Step 2.  Now you first have to mark a point P outside the circle which is at a distance 6.2 cm from the center C.

Name this point as P.

Step 3.  From point P (as vertex), you have to join Points P and C. label it 6.2 cm.

Step 4.  From P again as vertex, you have to draw a line that touches the circle at X.

Step 5. Join the point P and X to get line PX.

Step 6. Now mark Point Y on the circle and Join Point P and Y to get line PY.

PX and PY are the two tangents needed from Point P.
