1.	Draw a pair of tangents of radius 5 cm which are inclined to each other at an angle of 45
Answer» Follow the given steps in order to construct the tangents.Step 1 : Draw a circle of radius 5\xa0cm and centre O.Step 2 : Take a point A on the circle. Join OA.Step 3 : Draw a perpendicular to OA at A.Step 4 : Draw a radius OB, making an angle of 135° (180° – 45°) with OA.Step 5 : Draw a perpendicular to OB at point B. Let these perpendiculars intersect at P.Here, PA and PB are the required tangents inclined at angle of 45°.
