I. Construction of tangent using the centre of the circle:
Example :
Draw a tangent to a circle of radius 4.8 cm by using the centre of the circle.
Solution:
Step 1: Draw a circle with centre O having radius 4.8 cm.
Step 2: Take a point Q on the circle and draw a ray OQ.
Step 3: Draw a line l perpendicular to OQ at point Q.
Line l is the required tangent.
