Answer» given : a circle with centre O. PA and PB are two tangents to the circle at A and B To prove : L APB = 2 <OAB Proof : join AB and OA OA is perpendicular to PA (tangent and the radius at the point of contact) therefore <OAP = 90degree let <OAB = x therefore <PAB = 90 - x ----- (1) PA = PB (tangent from same external point) therefore triangle APB is isosceles therefore <PAB = < PBA = 90-x (angles opp to equal sides) Tn triangle APB <P + 90 - x + 90 - x = 180 degree (angle sum property) <P + 180 - 2x = 180degree <P = 2x < APB = 2x ie, < APB = 2 < OAB |
