Question
Draw a circle of radius 3.4 cm, take any point P on it. Draw tangent to the circle from point P
Solution
Analysis:
seg OP ⊥ line l ......[Tangent is perpendicular to radius]
The perpendicular to seg OP at point P will give the required tangent at P.
Steps of construction:
- With center O, draw a circle of radius 3.4 cm.
- Take any point P on the circle and draw ray OP.
- Draw line l ⊥ ray OP at point P.
Line l is the required tangent to the circle at point P.
