Answer -
Steps of construction :
(i) Draw a circle with centre O and radius 3 cm.
(ii) Draw a diameter and produce it to both sides.
(iii) Take two points P and Q on this diameter with a distance of 7 cm each from the centre O.
(iv) Bisect PO at M and QO at N
(v) With centres M and N, draw circle on PO and QO as diameter which intersect the given circle at S, T and S’, T’ respectively.
(vi) Join PS, PT, QS’ and QT’.
Then PS, PT, QS’ and QT’ are the required tangents to the given circle.
