Question

5. Prove that the tangents to a circle at the end points of a diameter are parallel.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AB be a diameter of the circle. Two tangents PQ and RS are drawn at points A and B respectively. Radius drawn to these tangents will be perpendicular to the tangents. Since alternate interior angles are equal, lines PQ and RS will be parallel.

Answer 2

${\tt{\red{\underline{\underline{\huge{AnswEr}}}}}}$

Let AB be a diameter of the circle. Two tangents PQ and RS are drawn at points A and B respectively. Radius drawn to these tangents will be perpendicular to the tangents. Since alternate interior angles are equal, lines PQ and RS will be parallel.
