Draw a line segment AB of length 8 cm. Taking A as centre, draw a circle of radius 4 cm and taking B as centre, draw another circle of radius 3 cm. Construct tangents to each circle from the centre of the other circle.
Construction steps
● Draw a line segment, AB = 8 cm.
● Taking A as centre, draw a circle with radius 4 cm.
● Taking B as centre, draw another circle with radius 3 cm.
● Draw perpendicular bisector of AB.
● Taking midpoint of AB as centre and AB as diameter, draw the third circle.
● From point A, draw tangents AR and AS.
● From point B, draw tangents BP and BQ.
