Draw a pair of radii OA and OB in a circle such that `/_BOA=120^(@)`. Draw the bisector of `/_BOA` and draw lines perpendiculars to OA and OB at A and B. These lines meet on the bisector of `/_BOA` at a point which is the external point and the perpendicular lines are the required tangents. Construct and Justify.

The point A(2,7) lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points P(6,5) and Q(0,-4).
OA and OB are two perpendicular straight lines. A straight line AB is drawn in such a manner that OA+OB=8 . Find the locus of the mid point of AB.
To draw two tangents to a circle which are perpendicular to each other, the perpendiculars are to be drawn at the ends of two radii which are inclined at an angle of……..
AB is a line segment and line I is its perpendicular bisector. If a point P lies on I, show that P is equidistant from A and B.
AB is a line segment and line l is its perpendicular bisector. If a point P lies on l, show that P is equidistant from A and B.
A line passes through the points A(2,-3) and B(6,3) . Find the slopes of the lines which are , (i) parallel to AB (ii) perpendicular to AB
AB is a line - segment. P and Q are points on either side of AB such that each of them is equidistant from the points A and B (See Fig ). Show that the line PQ is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
Draw a circle with the help of a bangle. Take a point outside the circle. Construct the pair of tangents from this point to the circle.
