Question

Draw a circle of radius 3 cm. Take a point P on it. Without using the centre of the circle, draw a tangent to the circle at point P.

Answer 1

Steps of Construction :
1. Draw any chord PQ through the given point P on the circle.
2. Take a point R on the circle and join P and Q to a point R.
3. Construct `angleQPY=anglePRQ` and on the opposite side of the chrod PQ.
4. Produce YP to X to get YPX as the required tangent .
