Given:
A circle with Centre O.AP and B P are tangents to the circle.

To prove :
<AOB+<APB=180°

Proof:
<OAP=90°
<OBP=90°
{ radius is perpendicular to the tangent}

In quadrilateral AOBP by angle sum property,
<OAP +<OBP +<AOB +<APB=360°
90°+90° +<AOB+<APB=360°
Therefore,
<AOB +<APB=360°-180°
=180°.
