Question

Draw a circle of radius $3.2$cm. Take a point P on this circle and draw a tangent at P. (using the centre).

Answer 1

Given: Radius of the circle$=3.2$cm.
Construction:
(i) With O as the centre draw a circle of radius $3.2$cm.
(ii) Take a point P on the circle and join OP.
(iii) Draw an arc of a circle with centre at P cutting OP at L.
(iv) Mark M and N on the arc such that $\stackrel{⌢}{LM}=\stackrel{⌢}{MN}=$LP.
(v) Draw the bisector PT of the angle $\angle$MPN.
(vi) Produce TP to T' to get the required tangent T'PT.
