Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a circle with centre O
tangent at P
now XP is drawn perpendicular to Tangent t at P
also, we know that OP is perpendicular to tangent t, due to the tangent radius relation
now by the uniqueness of perpendicular, we can draw only one perpendicular to t at point P
so X and O is on the same line
the perpendicular at the point of contact to the tangent to a circle passes through the centre.
