Which of the following steps is incorrect to construct a circle of radius 2 cm with centre O and then drawing two tangents to the circle from P where P is a point outside the circle such that OP = 4.5 cm.
Steps of construction Step II : Mark a point P outside the circle such that OP = 2.25 cm.
Step III : Join OP = 4.5 cm and bisect it at M.
Step IV : Draw a circle with M as centre and radius equal to MP to intersect the given circle at the points T and T'.
Step V : Joint PT and PT' . Then, PT and PT' are the required tangents.
