उत्तर
Steps of construction:
(i) Draw a circle of radius 4 cm.
(ii) Take a point P outside the circle and draw a secant PAB, intersecting the circle at A and B.
(iii) Produce AP to C such that AP = CP.
(iv) Draw a semicircle with CB as diameter.
(v) Draw PD and CB intersecting the semi-circle at D.
(vi) With P as centre and PD as a radius draw arcs to intersect the given circle at T and T'.
(vii) Join PT and PT'. Then PT and PT' are the required tangents.
