Steps of construction:

  1. Draw a circle with the help of a bangle.
  2. Take two non-parallel chords AB and CD of this circle.
  3. Draw the perpendicular bisectors of AB and CD. Let these intersect at O.
    Then O is the centre of this circle drawn.
  4. Take a point P outside the circle.
  5. Join PO and bisect it. Let M be the mid-point of PO.
  6. Taking M as centre and MO as radius, draw a circle. Let it intersect the given circle at the points Q and R.
  7. Join PQ and PR.
    Then, PQ and PR are the required two tangents.
    Then {tex}\angle PQO{/tex} is an angle in the semicircle and therefore,
    {tex}\angle PQO = 90^\circ {/tex}
    {tex} \Rightarrow PQ \bot OQ{/tex}
    Since OQ is a radius of the given circle, PQ has to be a tangent to the circle.
    Similarly, PR is also a tangent to the circle.
