In the figure PA, PB are tangents through A and B of a circle with center O. If the radius of the circle is r, then prove that OP × OQ = r2. |

Answer» Δ OQA, ΔOPA are triangle with equal angles. The ratio of sides opposite to the equal angles. \(\frac{OA}{OP}=\frac{OQ}{OA}\,\)\(\Rightarrow \frac{r}{OP}=\frac{OQ}{r}\) \(r^2=OP\times OQ\) \(OP\times OQ=r^2\) |
