Given below are the steps of construction of a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 6 cm from a point on the concentric circle of radius 8 cm. Which of the following steps is incorrect ?
Steps of Construction
Step I : Take a point O on the plane paper and draw a circle of radius OA = 6 cm . Also, draw a concentric circle of radius OB = 8 cm.
Step II : Find the mid-point A of OB and draw a circle of radius BA = AO . Suppose this circle intersects the circle of radius 6 cm at P and Q.
Step III : Join BP and BQ to get the desired tangents.
