Question
Draw a circle of diameter 6.4 cm. Take a point R at a distance equal to its diameter from the centre. Draw tangents from point R.
Solution
Steps of Construction:
Step 1: Construct a circle of radius = \[\frac{6 . 4}{2}\] = 3.2 cm with centre O.
Step 2: Take a point R in the exterior of the circle such that OR = 6.4 cm.
Step 3: Draw segment OR. Draw the perpendicular bisector of segment OR to get its midpoint M.
Step 4: Draw a circle with radius OM and centre M.
Step 5: Name the point of intersection of the two circles as A and B.
Step 6: Draw line RA and line RB.
Here, line RA and line RB are tangents to the circle from point R.
