Arrange the steps of construction while constructing pair of tangents to a circle of radius 5 cm from a point 12 cm away from its centre.
Steps of Construction
Step I : Join OA and bisect it . Let P is the mid-point of OA.
Step II : Join AB and AC . AB and AC are the required tangents.
Step III : With O as centre, draw a circle of radius 5 cm.
Step IV : Taking P as centre and PO as radius 5 cm, draw a circle intersecting the given circle at the points B and C.
Step V : Take a point A at a distance of 12 cm from O.
