Step 1: Draw a circle and two non–parallel chords
1) Draw a circle with the help of a bangle.
2) Draw two non–parallel chords
AB and
CD.
Step 2: Draw the center of the circle
1) Draw the perpendicular bisector of
AB.
2) Draw the perpendicular bisector of
CD.
3) Two perpendicular bisectors
AB and
CD intersect at
O which is the center of the circle.
Step 3: Draw the tangents of the circle
1) Take Point
P outside the circle.
2) Join
PO and draw the perpendicular bisector of
PO such that it intersects
PO at point
M.
3) Taking
M as center and
MP as radius and draw a circle.
4) Now two circles intersect at
R and
Q.
5) Join
PR and
PQ which are the required tangents of the circle.
