Answer
Steps of construction:
-
Drow a circle with the help of bangle.
-
Take a point P outside the circle and take two chords QR and ST.
-
Draw perpendicular bisect of these chords.
-
Join PO and bisect it, Let U be the mid-point of PO.
-
Taking U as centere, draw a circle of radius OU, which will intersect the original circle at V and W.
-
Join PV and PW are required tangents.
