Construction : 2 Marks
Steps of construction : 1 Mark
Steps of construction :
1. Draw a circle with O as centre and radius 2 cm.
2. Mark a point P outside the circle such that OP = 6.5 cm.
3. Join OP and bisect it at M.
4. Draw a circle with M as centre and radius equal to MP, to intersect the given circle at the points T and T'.
5. Join PT and PT'.
6. Then, PT and PT' are the required tangents.
