Question

Draw a circle of radius $4.8$cm. Take a point on the circle. Draw the tangent at that point using the tangent-chord theorem.

Answer 1

$Step1:$ With $O$ as the center, draw a circle of radius $4.8cm$.

$Step2:$: Take a point $P$ on the circle.

$Step3:$ Through $P$, draw any chord $PQ$.

$Step4:$ Mark a point $R$ distinct from $P$ and $Q$ on the circle so that $P,Q$ and $R$ are in counter clockwise direction.

$Step5:$ Join $PR$ and $QR$.

$Step6:$ At $P$, construct $\angle QPX=\angle PRQ$

$Step7:$ Produce $XP$ to $Y$ get the required tangent line $XY$.

Thus, this is the resulting figure.
