Question
Draw two concentric circle of radii 3cm and 5cm. Taking a point on the outer circle, construct the pair of tangents to the inner circle.
✓
Answer
Steps of construction:
- Draw a circle with radius 3cm and centre O.
- Draw another circle with radius 5cm and same centre O.
- Take a point P on the circumference of larger circle and join O to p.
- Taking OP as diameter draw another circle which intersects the smallest circle at A and B.
- Join A to P and B to P.
