OQ = OR [Radii of the circle]
OP = OP [Common]
ㄥQ = ㄥR = 90o [Radius is 丄 to tangent]
ΔOQP ≅ ΔORP [by RHS]
PQ = PR
A pair Of tangents can be drawn to a circle from an externar point lying outside the circle.
These two tangents are equal in lengths.
∴ PQ = PR
10.
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line segment BC = 6 cm and at point B draw a ㄥABC = 60o.
2. Cut AB 5 cm. Join AC. We obtain ABC is triangle.

7. At C' draw C'A' || CA, where A' is a point on the line segment BA.

Δ A'BC' is the required triangle.
Justification:
In Δ A'BC' and ΔABC A'C' || AC
∴ By BPT \(\frac { A'B }{ AB } =\frac { BC' }{ BC } \) ...(i)
From (i) and (ii),
\(\frac { A'B' }{ AB } =\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \Rightarrow A'B=\frac { 3 }{ 4 } AB\)
In ΔBA3C' and ΔBA4C
\(\frac { BC' }{ BC } =\frac { { BA }_{ 3 } }{ { BA }_{ 4 } } =\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) ...(ii)
∴ Sides of new triangle formed are \(\frac { 3 }{ 4 } \) times the corresponding sides of first triangle.
11.
Steps of Construction:
1. Draw a line segment AB of 7 cm
2. Taking A and B as centre draw two circle of 3 cm and 2 cm radius

3. Bisect the line AB. Let mid-point of AB is C.
4. Taking C as centre draw a circle of radius AC which will intersect the circle at point P, Q, R and S.
5. Join BP, BQ, AS and AR. These are the required tangents.
12.
Steps of Construction

(i) Draw a line segment AB = 6.5 cm and a ray AX making an acute angle with the line segment AB.
(ii) Draw another ray \(BY\parallel AX\) such that \(\angle ABY=\angle BAX\)
(iii) Mark off 3 points A1 ,A2,A3 on AX and 5 points B1,B2,B3,B4,B5 on BY such that AA1 = A1A2 = A2A3= BB1= B1B2 = B2B3 = B3B4 = B4B5
(iv) Join A3B5 which intersect AB at point C. Thus, C divides AB in the ratio 3: 5, i.e. AC:CB = 3:5.
Justification:
In \(\Delta AC{ A }_{ 3 }\) and \(\Delta BC{ B }_{ 5 }\)
\(\angle CB{ B }_{ 5 }=\angle CA{ A }_{ 3 }\)
\(\angle AC{ A }_{ 3 }=\angle BC{ B }_{ 5 }\)
\(\Delta AC{ A }_{ 3 }\sim \Delta BC{ B }_{ 5 }\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac { A{ A }_{ 3 } }{ B{ B }_{ 5 } } =\frac { AC }{ BC } \)
By construction, \(\frac { A{ A }_{ 3 } }{ B{ B }_{ 5 } } =\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \)
On equating Eqs.(i) and (ii), we get \(\frac { AC }{ BC } =\frac { 3 }{ 5 } \)
This shows that C divides the line segment AB internally in the ratio 3:5.
13.
The tangents can be constructed on the given circles as follows.
Step 1
Draw a line segment AB of 8 cm. Taking A and B as centre, draw two circles of 4 cm and 3 cm radius.
Step 2
Bisect the line AB. Let the mid-point of AB be C. Taking C as centre, draw a circle of AC radius which will intersect the circles at points P, Q, R, and S. Join BP, BQ, AS, and AR. These are the required tangents.

Justification
The construction can be justified by proving that AS and AR are the tangents of the circle (whose centre is B and radius is 3 cm) and BP and BQ are the tangents of the circle (whose centre is A and radius is 4 cm). For this, join AP, AQ, BS, and BR.

∠ASB is an angle in the semi-circle. We know that an angle in a semi-circle is a right angle.
∴ ∠ASB = 90°
⇒ BS ⊥ AS
Since BS is the radius of the circle, AS has to be a tangent of the circle. Similarly, AR, BP, and BQ are the tangents.

(i) With O as centre a circle of radius 3 cm is drawn.
(ii) With same centre O another circle of radius 5 cm is drawn.
