Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take two points `P` and `Q` on one of its extended diameter each at a distance of 7cm from its centre. Draw tangents to the circle from these two points `P` and `Q` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Steps of construction:
Draw a circle with O as centre and radius as 3 cm.
Draw a diameter of it and extend both the sides and mark the points as P, Q such that OP = OQ = 7 cm.
Draw the perpendicular bisectors of OP and OQ to intersect PQ at M and N respectively. ...
