 Draw a circle with center at O and radius= 4 cm2
 make any point P on the circumference of the circle
 Join OP 3
 AT point O, draw a line OM making angle ∠MOP=45 degreebecause third angle will be 45 degree4
 At point P, draw the line PN so that ∠NPO=90 degree i
e
, PN is tangent to the circle at P
5  PN and OM intersect at A
Clearly ∠PAO=45 degree
AP is the required tangent

AP will be 4 cm

Draw a circle of 4.1 cm radius. Draw any line through the centre of the circle. Draw a tangent to the circle making an angle of 450 with the line. What is the length of the tangent? Thank You MeritNation Experts.
