Question

Take a point which is 11 cm away from the centre of a circle of radius 4 cm and are
the two tangents to the circle from that point.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius = 4 cm The distance of a point from the center = 11 cm. Construction: Steps: (1) With centre O, draw a circle of radius 4 cm. (2) Draw a line OP = 11 cm. (3) Draw a ⊥r bisector of OP, which cuts atM. (4) With M as centre and MO as radius, draw a circle which cuts previous circle at A and B. (5) Join AP and BP. AP and BP are the required tangents. Thus length of the tangents are PA = PB = 10.2 cm.
