Solution
Draw a circle of radius
=
3
c
m
and mark a point
X
on circumference
From point
X
, mark an arc of
4.6
c
m
and
Join chord
X
and
Y
. Join points
X
and
Y
with center
O
. Taking
X
and
Y
as vertex and
O
X
and
O
Y
as base, draw perpendiculars to
O
X
and
O
Y
.
The perpendiculars meet at point
R
.
X
R
and
Y
R
are required tangents.
