Tangents can be constructed to the given circle as follows.
1. Draw a circle of 3 cm radius and mark its centre as O.
2. Extend diameter of the circle to a distance of 7 cm from centre on both sides.
3. Let these points be P and Q. Where OP = OQ = 7 cm.
4. Bisect OP and OQ. Let M and N be the mid-points of OP and OQ respectively.
5. Taking M as centre and MO as radius, draw a circle. Similarly taking N as centre and NO as radius draw a circle. Let it intersect at points A, B and C, D respectively.
6. Join PA, PB, PC and PD
7. Thus, PA, PB, QC, QD are the required tangents. PA = PB = PC = PD = 6.3 cm (approx)
