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.
