Answer:
Let P be the external point, and let Q and R be the point of contact. Let O be the center.
Construction: Join OR and OP and OQ
by theriom 12.1
=>/_ORP and /_OQP is 90⁰ -Eq 1
=>So consider Triangle ORP and triangle OQP
=>Feom eq 1 /_R= /_Q
=> OP=PO (Common)
=>OR=OQ (Radii of circle)
=> TriORP is congruent to TriOQP
=>PR=PQ(CPCT)
Therefore the length of tangents drawn from an externel point to a circle are equal.
Hence Proved》》
