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(18060) 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.
