Question

Take a point $O$ on the plane of the paper. With $O$ as centre draw a circle of radius $3cm.$ Take a point $P$ on this circle and draw a tangent at $P.$

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a circle of radius 3 cm with centre O.

2.Take a point P on the circle and Join OP

3.Make a perpendicular line s at point P such that s⊥OP

4.Line s would be tangent of circle at point P

5.Tangent perpendicular to the radius. OP is radius of circle.

So, line s is perpendicular to OP.
