Question
Draw a tangent at any point R on the circle of radius 3.4 cm and centre at P?
Solution
Given Radius = 3.4 cm
Steps of construction:
1. Draw a circle with centre “O” of radius 3.4 cm.
2. Take a point P on the circle Join OP.
3. Draw a perpendicular line TT’ to OP which passes through P.
4. TT’ is the required tangent.
