Prove that the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a con is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line-segment joining thecontact at the centre.point |

Answer» ong>Answer: ANSWER Draw a circle with center O and TAKE a external point P. PA and PB are the tangents. As radius of the circle is perpendicular to the tangent. OA⊥PA Similarly OB⊥PB ∠OBP=90 o
∠OAP=90 o
In Quadrilateral OAPB, SUM of all interior angles =360 o
⇒∠OAP+∠OBP+∠BOA+∠APB=360 o
⇒90 o +90 o +∠BOA+∠APB=360 o
∠BOA+∠APB=180 o
It proves the angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle SUPPLEMENTARY to the angle subtented by the line segment Hope this helps you Do mark as brainliest ✌️ |
