Solution

1. Draw a circle with centre $O$ and radius $2.9 c m$ . Mark any point $M$ on it.
2. Draw a ray $O M$ . Mark equidistant points on the ray on either side of $M$ .
3. Place the compass on one of the points and mark two arcs on either side of $O M$ . Repeat the same step for the other point.
4. Join the intersection points of the arcs.

$M R$ is the required tangent.
