Q5 of 17 Page 173

Draw a circle of radius 13.1 cm. Construct tangents to the circle at the ends of a chord of length 2.3 cm of the circle.

1. Draw a circle with radius 13.1 cm.



2. Draw a chord AB = 2.3 cm. Then join B to center O.



3. Extend OA such that OA=AX. Similarly extend OB to OY.



4. Draw perpendicular bisector of OX.



5. Similarly, draw perpendicular bisector of OY.


Mark the intersection of perpendiculars as T.



Here, TB and TA are required tangents.
