Question

Draw two tangents to a circle of radius 4 cm, which are inclined to each other at an angle of 60°.

Answer 1

Steps of construction:

1. Draw a circle of radius 4 cm with O as centre.
2. Draw two radii OA and OB inclined to each other at an angle of 120°.
3. Draw AP ⊥ OA at A and BP ⊥ OB at B.Which meet at P.
4. PA and PB are the required tangents inclined to each other an angle of 60°.
