Use a ruler and compass only in this question.
(i) Draw a circle, centre O, and radius 4 cm.
(ii) Mark a point P such that OP = 7 cm.
Construct the two tangents to the circle from P. Measure and record the length of one of the tangents.
Solution:
Draw a line AB = 6 cm. Construct a circle with AB as diameter. Mark a point P at a distance of 5 cm from the mid-point of AB. Construct two tangents from P to the circle with AB as diameter. Measure the length of each tangent
