Draw two tangents to a circle of radius 3.5 cm from a point P at a distance of 6.2 cm from its centre.
Given:
A circle of radius 3.5 cm.
Point P is at a distance of 6.2 cm from its centre.
To do:
We have to draw two tangents to a circle of raidus 3.5 cm from a point P at a distance of 6.2 cm from its centre.
Solution:
Steps of construction:
(i) Draw a circle with centre $O$ and radius $3.5\ cm$
(ii) Take a point $P$ which is $6.2\ cm$ from $O.$
(iii) Bisect $PO$ at $M$ and draw a circle with centre $M$ and diameter $OP$ which intersects the given circle at $T$ and $S$ respectively.
(iv) Join $PT$ and $PS$.
$PT$ and $PS$ are the required tangents to the circle.
