Q. Construct a tangent to a circle of radius 3 cm at a point P on it without using the centre of the circle.
Steps of construction: 1. Draw a circle of radius 3 cm 2. Draw a cord PQ 4.Take any point R on the major arc PQ and join PR and QR 5. Make < PRQ = < QPT 6. PT is required tangent Q. Construction of a tangent to a circle of radius 3 cm (using the centre). We remember that: In a circle, the radius drawn at the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent at that point. Steps of construction: 1. Draw a circle of radius 3 cm 2. Take a point p on the boundary and join it to Centre O of circle 4.Take any point R on the major arc PQ and join PR and QR 5.
