Q3 of 12 Page 242

Draw a circle with the help of a circular bangle. Construct two tangents to this circle through a point in the exterior of the circle.

Steps of construction:


1. Draw a circle(Say C1) with the help of a bangle, and take any three points A, B and C on its circumference



2. Join AB and BC and draw the perpendicular bisector of AB and BC which intersect each other at O.



3. O is the center of circle, now take any point P outside the circle and join OP.



4. Draw the perpendicular bisector of OP, which intersect OP at O'.



5. Taking O' as center and O'O = O'P as radius, draw a circle C2, which intersects the previous circle at Q and R.



6. Join PQ and PR, which are required tangents.
