Solution 2(i)
Steps:
1. Draw AB = 8 cm
2. Draw ray AX making an acute angle of 45 degree with AB
3. Draw ray BY making an acute angle of 45 degree with AB
4. Mark four points A1, A2, A3, A4 on AX and five points B1, B2, B3, B4, B5 on BY in such a way that AA1=A1A2 =A2A3=A3A4=BB1=B1B2=B2B3=B3B4=B4B5
5. Now join A4 B5
6. Let this intersect at C, which is the point that divided AB in 4:5 ratio

Solution 3
Steps:
1. Draw a circle of 3 cm
2. Draw AB diameter and extend AB on both sides such that OP = OQ = 7cm
3. Now draw perpendicular bisectors of OP and OQ, and let them bisect OP and OQ at S and T respectively
4. Now taking S as center and radius SP, cut arcs on the circle and join the points of intersection with P using straight line
5. Also, taking T as center and radius TQ, cut arcs on the circle and join the points of intersection with Q using straight line
6. Thus we have the required tangents

Steps
1. Draw two concentric circles of radii 3 cm and 5 cm with center O
2. Take a point A on circle and join AO
3. Now draw perpendicular bisector of AO, and let it bisect OA at B
4. Now, taking B as center and radius AB, cut arcs on the inner circle and join the points of intersection with A using straight line
5. Thus we have the required tangents
Solution 12
Steps
1. Draw a circle of any radius with center O
2. Take a point A outside the circle and join AO
3. Now draw perpendicular bisector of AO, and let it bisect OA at B
4. Now, taking B as center and radius AB, cut arcs on the circle and join the points of intersection with A using straight line
5. Thus we have the required tangents
Solution 13
Steps:
1. Draw a circle of radius 3 cm with center O
2. Take a point P outside the circle such that OP = 6.5 cm and join OP
3. Now draw perpendicular bisector of OP, and let it bisect OP at B
4. Now, taking B as center and radius PB, cut arcs on the circle and join the points of intersection with P using straight line
5. Thus we have the required tangents
