Tangents from an exterior point are equal
Therefore PA=PB which means
AnglePAB=AnglePBA =60
( angle sum property of triangle )
So PAB is an equilateral triangle because all three angles are equal to 60
Therefore,
AB=PA=PB=9cm
AB=9cm
Therefore PA=PB which means
AnglePAB=AnglePBA =60
( angle sum property of triangle )
So PAB is an equilateral triangle because all three angles are equal to 60
Therefore,
AB=PA=PB=9cm
AB=9cm
