Question

solve this problem???? it's urgent I will mark as brain list

two tangent TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with centre O from exterior point T.
prove that angle PTQ=2 angle OPQ

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.

∴ TP = TQ

In ΔTPQ,

TP = TQ

⇒ ∠TQP = ∠TPQ ...(1) (In a triangle, equal sides have equal angles opposite to them)

∠TQP + ∠TPQ + ∠PTQ = 180º (Angle sum property)

∴ 2 ∠TPQ + ∠PTQ = 180º (Using(1))

⇒ ∠PTQ = 180º – 2 ∠TPQ ...(1)

We know that, a tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

OP ⊥ PT,

∴ ∠OPT = 90º

⇒ ∠OPQ + ∠TPQ = 90º

⇒ ∠OPQ = 90º – ∠TPQ

⇒ 2∠OPQ = 2(90º – ∠TPQ) = 180º – 2 ∠TPQ ...(2)

From (1) and (2), we get

∠PTQ = 2∠OPQ
