Solution
Steps of Construction:
Step 1. Draw a circle with centre O and radius = 4.2 cm. Step 2. Draw any diameter AOB of this circle. Step 3. Construct , such that the radius OC meets the circle at C. Step 4. Draw AM AM and CN intersect at P.
Thus, PA and PC are the required tangents to the given circle inclined at an angle of 45o.
