Steps of Construction :

1. Draw a circle of radius

3

cm from centre

O

2. Set a point

P

which is

7

cm far from point

O

. Join

OP

3. Draw a perpendicular bisector of

OP

which cuts

OP

at point

Q

4. Now, considering

Q

as a centre and equal radius

(OQ = PQ)

.Draw a circle.

5. Both circles intersect at points

A

and

B

Join

P A

and

PB

Therefore,

A P

and

BP

are the required tangents.

Measurements :

A P = BP = 6.1
