उत्तर
Rough Figure:
Steps of construction:
- Draw a circle of radius 2.7 cm.
- Draw a chord PQ of length 4.5 cm.
- Take a point A on the major arc, other than P and Q.
- Join PA and QA.
- Using P and Q as vertices and chord PQ as one side, draw ∠MPQ and ∠MQP equal to ∠PAQ.
- Lines containing the rays PM and QM are the tangents to the circle at P and Q respectively.
