Draw a line segment A B of length ...

Draw a line segment `A B` of length 8cm. Taking `A` as centre, draw a circle of radius 4 cm and taking `B` as centre, draw another circle of radius 3 cm. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Steps of construction:
Draw AB = 8 cm. With A and B as centres, radii as 4 cm and 3 cm respectively draw two circles.
Draw the perpendicular bisector of AB, intersecting AB at O.
With O as the centre and OA as radius draw a circle that intersects the two circles at P, Q, R and S.
