Steps of construction :-  

(i) Taking O as a centre draw a circle of radius 3 cm.

(ii) Now draw a diameter PQ of this circle and extend it.

(iii)  Mark two points R and S on the extended diameter such that OR = OS = 7 cm.

(iv) Draw the perpendicular bisector of both the lines and name their mid-points as T and U.

(v) Now, taking T and U as centre draw circles of radius TR and QS.

(vi) Name the intersecting points of the circles with the first circles as V, W, X, Y.

(vii) Join the lines . These are the required tangents.
