4. Taking point O as centre draw a circle of radius 4 cm passing through points A and B which intersect circle C at P and S and circle C' at points R and Q.
5. Join AQ, AR, BP, and BS. These are the required tangents.
Justification:
Join AP
In ΔABP AP 丄 BP [Radius 丄 to tangent]
AP = 4 cm and AB=8 cm
AB2 = AP2 + BP2
⇒ (8)2 =(4)2+ BP2 ⇒ 64 = 16 + BP2
⇒ 64 - 16 = BP2 ⇒ 48 = BP2
⇒ BP= \(\sqrt { 16\times 3 } \) ⇒ BP = \(4\sqrt { 3 } cm\)
Similarly BS = \(4\sqrt { 3 } cm\)
Join BQ.
In ΔABQ BQ丄 AQ [Radius 丄 to tangent]
BQ=3 cm
AB2= BQ2 + AQ2⇒ (8)2 = (3)2 + AQ2
⇒ 64=9+AQ2 ⇒ 64-9=AQ2
⇒ 55=AQ2 ⇒ AQ=\(\sqrt { 55 } cm\)
Similarly AR=\(\sqrt { 55 } cm\)
A pair of tangents can be drawn to a circle from an external point outside the circle. These two tangents are equal in lengths.
∴ AQ = AR and BP = BS.
13.
Steps of Construction:
(i) A line segment BC = 6 cm is drawn.
(ii) An arc is drawn from B of radius 5 cm.
(iii) An arc is drawn from C of radius 7 cm, cutting the first arc at A. AB and AC are joined to get ΔABC.
(iv) An acute angle CBX is drawn below BC.
(v) On BX, points B1,B2,B3,B4,B5 are taken such that BB1=B1B2=B2B3=B3B4=B4B5.
(vi) B5 and C are joined.
(vii) B3C' is drawn parallel to B5C meeting BC at C'.
(viii) C'A' is drawn parallel to CA, meeting BA at A'.
(ix) Then ΔA'BC' is the required triangle similar to ΔABC, where sides are \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \) corresponding sides of ΔABC.
14.
In Δ ABC, ∠A+∠B+∠C=180o
⇒ 105o+ 45o +∠C = 180o⇒∠C30o
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line segment BC = 7 cm. At point B draw ∠B = 45o and at point C draw ∠C = 30o and get ΔABC.
2. Draw an acute ∠CBX on the base BCat point B. Mark the ray BX with B1,B2,B3,B4, such that BB1= B1B2= B2B3= B3B4.
3. Join B3 to C. Draw B4C' || B3C, where C' is point on extended line segment BC.
4. At C' draw C'A' || AC, where A' is a point on extended line segment BA.

5. Δ A'BC' is the required triangle.
Justification:
In Δ ABC and Δ A'BC' AC || A'C'
∴ By BPT \(\frac { AB }{ A'B } =\frac { BC }{ BC' } \) ...(i)
From (i) and (ii) we get
\(\frac { AB }{ A'B } =\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \Rightarrow A'B=\frac { 4 }{ 3 } AB\)
In Δ BB3C and ΔBB4C'
By BPT \(\frac { BC }{ BC' } =\frac { { BB }_{ 3 } }{ { BB }_{ 4 } } =\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) ...(ii)
∴ Sides of new triangle formed is \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 } \) times the corresponding sides of first triangle.
