Best answer

m(arc AB) = ∠APB = 100° 

Analysis: seg PA ⊥ line l seg PB ⊥line m … [Tangent is perpendicular to radius]

            Rough Figure

The perpendicular to sez PA and seg PB at points A and B respectively will give the required tangents at A and B.

Steps of construction: 

i. With centre P, draw a circle of any radius and take any point A on it. 

ii. Draw ray PA. 

iii. Draw ray PB such that ∠APB = 100°.

iv. Draw line l ⊥ray PA at point A. 

v. Draw line m ⊥ ray PB at point B. Lines l and m are tangents at points A and B to the circle.
