given,

OL is perpendicular to AB

AL=BL [ perpendicular from the centre to the chord bisects the chord]..................(1)

LHS=PA×PB

= (PL-AL)(PL+BL)

=(PL-AL)(PL+AL). [from (1)]

=PL²-AL²

In right ∆OLP,

OP²=OL ²+PL²

=>PL²=OP ²-OL²..................(2)

LHS=PL²-AL²

=OP²-OL²-AL²

=OP²-(OL²+AL²). [from (2)]

In right ∆OAL,

OA²=OL²+AL²...............(3)

LHS=OP²-(OL²+AL²)

=OP²-OA². [from (3)]

=OP²-OT² [OA=OT because radii of the same circle are equal]

In right ∆OPT,

OP²=OT²+PT²

=>PT²=OP²-OT²...............(4)

LHS=OP²-OT²

=PT². [from (4)]

Hence, LHS=PA×PB=PT²=RHS

Hence proved

HOPE U CAN UNDERSTAND

pls mark it as brainliest






badgirl: actually only 2 steps were needed for this answer is wanted to check if anyone could answer like me!
badgirl: I mean like 3 steps. .
