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

\bigtriangleup DCP \cong  \bigtriangleup DBP

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
