Question

draw two tangets from a point 7cm away from the center of a circle of radius 4cm​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Steps of Construction :

1. Draw a circle of radius 4cm with centre O.

2. A point P was marked outside the circle such that, OP = 7cm.

3. P to O was joined.

4. Perpendicular bisector of PO was found to be M.

5. With MO as radius and M as center a circle was drawn touching the previous drawn circle.

6. Point of intersections of two circles were marked to be Q and R respectively.

7. P was joined to Q and R respectively.

Therefore, required tangents will be PQ and PR
