Question

Draw two tangents to a circle of radius 3.5 cm, from a point P at a distance of 8 cm

from its centre.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

. Draw a circle of radius 3.5 cm from centre pointO

2. Set a point P which is located at distance 6.2 cm  from point O. Join OP.

3. Draw a perpendicular bisector of OP which cuts OP at point Q.

4. Now, considering Q as a centre and equal radius (OQ=PQ).Draw a circle.

5. Both circles intersect at points A and B.

6. Join PA nd PB.

Therefore, AP and BP are the required tangents.
