Question

Draw a circle with radius of 4.1cm. Construct tangents to the circle from a point at a distance 7.3cm from the centre?

Answer 1

Hint: Here the given question to draw a circle whose radius is given, here we can assume any centre point and then with the given radius we can draw the circle, and secondly it want to create a tangent at a distance of 7.3cm, for which we need to draw the tangent at the circumference of the circle and then we can draw another parallel line to the drawn tangent for the given distance.

Complete step by step solution:
The given question is draw a circle with a given fixed radius and then to draw a tangent line which is at a distance of 7.3 from the centre, here first we have to draw the circle, on plotting the circle we get:

Here we got the required circle now to draw the tangent we know that the angle between the tangent line and the radius of circle is ninety degree or we can say that tangent is perpendicular to the circle, on using this property and drawing the tangent we get:

Here we get the required tangent at a distance of 7.3cm from the centre of the circle.

Note: The given geometric drawing question needs to be drawn according to the given statement, and hence here we draw the figure according to the given statement accordingly, and here we have to use the properties associated if required.
