प्रश्न
Draw a circle of radius 4.5 cm. Take a point on the circle. Draw the tangent at that point using the alternate segment theorem
उत्तर
Radius of the circle = 4.5 cm
Steps of construction:
1. With O as centre, draw a circle of radius 4.5 cm.
2. Take a point L on the circle. Through L draw any chord LM.
3. Take a point M distinct from L and N on the circle, so that L, M, N are in anti-clockwise direction. Join LN and NM.
4. Through “L” draw tangent TT’such that ∠TLM = ∠MNL
5. TT’ is the required tangent.
