prove that the tangent drawn at the end of a diameter of circle parallel?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let AB be a diameter of the circle. Two tangents PQ and RS are drawn at points A and B respectively. Radius drawn to these tangents will be perpendicular to the tangents. Since alternate interior angles are equal, lines PQ and RS will be parallel.
Hope it will be helpful for you....
Plzzzz mark as brainlist I will follow you...
Let AB be a diameter of the circle. Two tangents PQ and RS are drawn at points A and B respectively.
Radius drawn to these tangents will be perpendicular to the tangents.
Thus, OA ⊥ RS and OB ⊥ PQ
∠OAR = 90º
∠OAS = 90º
∠OBP = 90º
∠OBQ = 90º
It can be observed that
∠OAR = ∠OBQ (Alternate interior angles)
∠OAS = ∠OBP (Alternate interior angles)
Since alternate interior angles are equal, lines PQ and RS will be parallel
