Answer:
To Prove : AP = BP
Proof :
In ΔAOP and ΔBOP
OA = OB (radii of the same circle)
∠OAP=∠OBP=90∘ (since tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact)
OP = OP (common)
∴ΔAOP≅ΔOBP (by R.H.S. congruence criterion)
∴ AP = BP (corresponding parts of congruent triangles)
Hence the length of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
