Answer
Steps of Construction:
-
Draw a circle with centre $O$ and radius $4\ cm.$
-
Draw any diameter $AB.$
-
Draw line $\text{L}\perp\text{OA}$ such that $\angle\text{OAL}=90^\circ.$
-
Draw line $\text{M}\perp\text{OB}$ such that $\angle\text{OBM}=90^\circ.$
Thus, $LA$ and $LB$ are the required tangent.
