Draw a circle of radius 3.5 cm. Draw the tangents to the circle which are perpendicular to each other.
Open in App
Solution
Steps of construction :
1. Draw a circle with O as centre and radius = 3.5 cm.
2. Draw any diameter AOB of this circle.
3. Construct ∠ BOX = 90∘ such that ray OX meets the circle at C.
4. Draw AM⊥AB and CN⊥OC. Let AM and CN intersect each other at a point P.
5. Then, PA and PC are the required tangents (which are perpendicular to each other)
