Draw a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 5 cm which are inclined to each other at an angle of 60°.


Steps of construction:

i. Draw a circle with radius 5 cm.



ii. Now, make a line AP perpendicular to radius OA.


iii. Construct OB at an angle of 120o from OA. (Because angle at centre is double the angle between two tangents).


iv. Join A and B to P; to get two tangents.


Here, APB = 60o
