Question 24 Draw a line segment AB of length 9cm. With A and B as centres, draw circles of radius 5 cm and 3 cm respectively. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle Steps of construction Draw line segment AB of length 9 cm Taking A as center, draw a circle of radius 5 cm Taking B as center, draw a circle of radius 3 cm Now, we need to draw tangent from point A to the right circle, and from point B to the left circle. To draw tangents to the right circle, we need to draw perpendicular bisector of line AB Make perpendicular bisector of AB Let M be the midpoint of AB. Taking M as center and MA as radius, draw a circle. 6. Let blue circle intersect left circle at P, Q Let blue circle intersect right circle at R, S Join BP, BQ, AR and AS ∴ AR, AS and BP, BQ are the required tangents
