a circle with centre 'o'
AB is thee diameter.
PQ&RS are the tangents of the circle and point of contact is A,B end points of a diameter
R.T.P:- PQ//RS
Proof:-we know that
PQ PERPENDICULAR TO AB....................1
RS PERPENDICULAR TO AB....................2
PQ//RS (.. The lines PQ and RS are coplanar the interior on the same side of transversal are 180 degrees)
hope this will help you

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
consider a circle with center' O' and diameter A B
⇔ ⇔
X Y, P Q are tangents to the circle
A B⊥ X Y
A B⊥P Q
(at point of contact of to the circle is 90°)
X Y ║ P Q
(in a co-planar lines alternative angles are equal)
