Answer:
To prove: Tangents drawn to a circle from a point in the exterior of the circle are congruent.
The exterior point as shown in the figure is T.
The centre of the circle is O.
To show:PT=QT
Consider ΔPTO and ΔQTO
OP=OQ(radii of the circle)
OT=OT(common side)
∠OPQ=∠OQT=90(Tangent to the circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.)
Hence by RHS triangles are equal that is ΔPTO≅ΔQTO
Therefore PT=QT
Hence, Tangents drawn to a circle from a point in the exterior of the circle are congruent.
