Let OA and OB the radii of the given circle and AC and AB be the tangents drawn from the point O.
Now,
In ∆OAC and ∆OBC;
✔Angle (OAC) = Angle (OBC) 【 90° each】
✔OA = OB 【Radii of same circle】
✔OC = OC 【Commom】
so,
By SAS Congruency rule,
✔✔✔∆OAC = ∆OBC✔✔✔
Therefore,
✅✅✅OA = OB (cpct)✅✅✅
So,
Tangents drawn from a point to a circle are always EQUAL.
