Question:

Draw a circle with centre \( O \) having radius \( 3 \, \text{cm} \). Draw tangent segments \( PA \) and \( PB \) through the point \( P \) outside the circle such that \( \angle APB = 70^\circ \).

Show Hint

The tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length. Ensure accuracy in drawing and measuring angles.

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Draw the circle with radius \( 3 \, \text{cm} \) and centre \( O \).
Step 2: Mark the external point \( P \) outside the circle.
Step 3: Draw two tangents \( PA \) and \( PB \) to the circle from point \( P \).
Step 4: Measure \( \angle APB = 70^\circ \) using a protractor.
Step 5: Verify that \( PA = PB \), as tangents from an external point to a circle are always equal.
