To construct the tangents from a point to a circle (where O is the centre of the circle and P is the point from which tangents are drawn.), following are the steps of construction in the first list named as “Steps” and the reasons behind those construction in the next list named “Reasons”. Match them accordingly. STEPS: i) Join OP. ii) Bisect the segment OP, at L. iii) Draw a circle with centre as L and radius LO. iv) From P, join wherever this circle intersects the original circle. REASONS: a) Because angle in a semicircle is 90∘ and radius is perpendicular to tangent. b) We get the point(s) of contact, if they exist. c) To check where the point P lies and hence determining if tangents exist or not. d) We need to draw a circle with diameter as the distance between the centre of the circle and the point from where tangents should be drawn.
