Angle OTA = 90°
Here OT is the radius of the circle with centre O. Radius OT being the shortest line from the centre to the tangent is perpendicular.
I hope you are familiar with the chapter 10: circles..first theorem in this chapter(theorem 10.1) states that the tangents at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact ( if not familiar with this theorem,keep it in mind,it may help you :) )
Hope it helps!
