Question

i need it urgent
plse help me

draw a triangle ABC with AB=6cm, BC=9cm and
CA =8cm. Construct tangents from vertex C to the circle through AB as diameter

Answer 1

do you know whats a vertex?

Answer 2

nevermind. you should find out what a vertex is and a tangent just in case you're asked again

Answer 3

tangent because it the triangle and circle barely touch
diameter runs through the center of the circle

Answer 4

the corner C is vertex C

Answer 5

but how to draw it or how to proceed

Answer 6

either corner can be A or B, I labeled the C vertex. the diameter AB is shown going through the middle of the circle. It asks to draw it a triangle like above.

Answer 7

understand?

Answer 8

vertex is just like a corner

Answer 9

first i draw a triangle with the given sides as above given in the question , then how to draw tangents from vertex C taking AB as diameter.

Answer 10

i understood vat u wrote but i don;t know how to proceed or how to draw tangents from vertex C taking AB as diameter.

Answer 11

just make a circle that barely touches the triangle (tangent to the triangle) but make sure AB goes through the center of the circle (AB as a diameter)

Answer 12

do you understand?

Answer 13

yes and the "arc" is tangent

Answer 14

k..
and there is no measure when we have to draw the an arc from Point C.

Answer 15

@camoJAX
plse tell me on thing first we draw a triangle and after that taking C as a centre how much arc is to be taken , i mean 3 cm or how much so that I can draw the circle

Answer 16

or can u provide me steps of construction so that i can draw it myself

Answer 17

is it something i'm missing here? can you take a pic of your problem and post it?

Answer 18

I do it as follows:
1. draw a triangle ABC, AB= 6cm, BC= 9cm & CA= 8cm
2. After that Take C as a vertex by taking an arc of how much cm
then we have to draw a circle

Answer 19

so you have to figure the arc length?

Answer 20

i m confused

Answer 21

i'm asking does the question want you to find the arc length?

Answer 22

no,

Answer 23

I do it as follows:
1. draw a triangle ABC, AB= 6cm, BC= 9cm & CA= 8cm
2. After that Take C as a vertex by taking an arc of how much cm
then we have to draw a circle

*Yes you can follow those steps.
What subject is this from?

Answer 24

constructions

Answer 25

is this a college course?

Answer 26

no, this question of class X -chapter constructions

Answer 27

Middle School, High School?

Answer 28

high school

Answer 29

@genius12 what do you think?

Answer 30

vertex C is tangent to the circle and AB is the diameter of the circle. If it was me asked this question.
1. Draw a circle
2. Draw the diameter of the circle (which is AB)
3. Place "VertexC" anywhere inside the curves of the circle to make sure it is "tangent looking" to the eye
4. Label the given points A & B
5. Label the given lengths
