(4) From point A5 draw a line AA5P || AA13B to meet AB at P. i.e., ∠BA13A = ∠PA5A.
Then AP : PB = 5 : 8
Hence, AP and PB are the (RBSESolutions.com) requires parts of AB.
Proof : In ∆AA5P and ∆AA13B,
A13B || A5P
∴ by BPT, we get
\(\frac { { AA }_{ 5 } }{ { A }_{ 5 }{ A }_{ 13 } } \) = \(\frac { AP }{ PB }\)
But \(\frac { { AA }_{ 5 } }{ { A }_{ 5 }{ A }_{ 13 } } \) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 8 }\) (By construction)
∴ \(\frac { AP }{ PB }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 8 }\)
Hence, point P, divides AB into the ratio 5 : 8.
Measuring two parts, we get.
AP = 2.9 cm
and PB = 4.7 cm

(5) Join PA and PB.
Hence PA and PB are the required tangents.
On measuring we get PA = PB = 6.0 cm.
Calculation to find the length of tangents :
In ∆POA
∠PAO = 90°
So ∆POA is a right angled (RBSESolutions.com) triangle, So by the Pythagoras Theorem,
PO2 = AO2 + PA2
⇒ PA2 = PO2 – AO2
= (6.5)2 – (2.5)2
= 42.25 – 6.25
⇒ PA2 = 36.00
∴ PA = \(\sqrt { 36 }\) = 6 cm
Hence, the length of each tangent is 6.0 cm.
