Given : Segment AB is a diameter of a circle with Centre P segment AC is a chord a secent through p
To prove : DB is the tangent
Explanation:
in triangle ACP
PA = CP (radii)
∠ACP = ∠CAP
(angle opp to equal side are equal )
AC║ PD
∠CAP = ∠DPB (corresponding angles)
∠ACP = ∠CPD (alternate interior angle)
∠DPB = ∠CPD
now , in triangle
DCP and DBP
PC = PB (radii)
PD = PD (common)
∠DPB = ∠CPD (proved above )
thus
by (SAS congruency )
therefore ,
∠PCD = ∠PBD (by CPCT)
now,
∠PCD = 90° (radius is perpendicular to the tangent)
∠PCD = ∠PBD = 90°
thus , DB is the tangent
hence proved
