Construct tangents to a circle of radius 4 cm from a point on the concentric circle of radius 7 cm.
Steps of construction :
(i) Taking point O as a centre draw a circle of radius 4 cm.
(ii) Draw a concentric circle of radius 7 cm and center O.
(iii) Take any point P on the larger circle and join PO.
(iv) Bisect OP. Let M be the midpoint of OP.
(v) Taking M as centre and MO as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the smaller circle at Q and R.
(vi) Join PQ and PR.
(vii) PQ and PR are the required tangents.
