Draw a circle of radius 3.5 cm. Marks a point P outside the circle at a distance of 6 cm from the centre. Construct two tangents from P to the given circle. Measure and write down the length of one tangent.
उत्तर
Steps of construction:
i) Draw a line segment OP = 6 cm
ii) With centre O and radius 3.5 cm, draw a circle
iii) Draw the midpoint of OP
iv) With centre M and diameter OP, draw a circle which intersect the circle at T and S
v) Join PT and PS.
PT and PS are the required tangents. On measuring the length of PT = PS = 4.8 cm
