Solution:
A cyclic quadrilateral is one in which sum of opposite angles are supplementary.
ie. Sum of opposite angles are = 180°
As Point P is an external point and from P two tangents of equal length PA and PB are drawn at circle.
From the Theorem of tangent,that radius drawn an angle of 90°
Thus
< OBP = 90°
< OAP = 90°
< OBP + < OAP = 90°+ 90°
< OBP + < OAP = 180°
these are the opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral,and sum of both are 180°, thus sum of remaining two angles are also 180°
< AOB + < BPA = 180°
hence OAPB is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Hope it helps you.
