Solution
Step 1 : Draw a circle of radius
4.5
cm with center O.
Step 2: Take a point A on the circle join OA.
Step 3: Draw a perpendicular to OA at A.
Step 4: Draw a radius OB making a angle
120
∘
(
180
∘
−
60
∘
)
with OA
Step 5: Draw a perpendicular to OB at B. Let these both perpendicular meet at P.
∴
PA and PB are the required tangents with angle of inclination
60
∘
.
