Question

Draw a circle with centre $O$ and radius $2.9$ cm. Take a point $M$ on it. Draw a tangent to the circle at point $M$.

Answer 1

1. Draw a circle with centre $O$ and radius $2.9cm$. Mark any point $M$ on it.

2. Draw a ray $OM$. 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 $OM$. Repeat the same step for the other point.

4. Join the intersection points of the arcs.

$MR$ is the required tangent.
