Question
Construct a tangent to a circle with centre O and radius 3.5 cm at a point P on it.
Solution
Steps of construction:-
- Draw a circle with centre O and radius 3.5cm.
- Take any point ‘P’ on the circle and draw ray OP.
- Draw a line perpendicular to ray OP at the point P. Name that line as ‘l’ which is tangent to the circle.
