  • Construction of a Triangle similar to a given triangle: By the knowledge of similar triangles and division of a line segment in a given ratio, we can construct a triangle similar to a given triangle.
  • Construction of Tangents to a circle: By the knowledge of tangents to a circle (learnt in chapter 'Circles'), we can construct the tangents to the circle.
  • Construction should be neat and clean and as per scale given in question.
