1.

Draw a circle of radius 4 cm. Take a poin P outside the circle. Without using the centre of the circle, draw two tangents to the circle from point P.

Answer»

Solution :Steps of Construction :
1. Draw a line segment 4 cm.
2. Take a point P outside the circle and draw a SECANT PAB, intersecting the circle at A and B.
3. Produce AP to C such that AP=CP.
4. Draw a semi- circle with CB as diameter.
5. Draw PD `bot` CB, intesecting the semi- circle at D.
6. With P as CENTRE and PD as RADIUS draw arcs to intersect the GIVEN circle at T and T'.
7. Join PT and PT'. Then, PT and PT' are the required tangents.
