Draw $\odot(P, 3\, cm)$ and take a point $R$ in its exterior such that $PR = 6\, cm$. Draw two tangents to $\odot(P, 3\, cm)$ from $R$. Write the steps of construction.
(N/A) Steps of construction:
$1$. Draw a circle with center $P$ and radius $3\, cm$.
$2$. Mark a point $R$ outside the circle such that the distance $PR = 6\, cm$.
$3$. Find the midpoint $M$ of the line segment $PR$ by drawing its perpendicular bisector.
$4$. With $M$ as the center and $MP$ (or $MR$) as the radius,draw a second circle.
$5$. Let this circle intersect the original circle at points $A$ and $B$.
$6$. Join $RA$ and $RB$. These are the required tangents to the circle $\odot(P, 3\, cm)$ from point $R$.
