Answer:
O'A=O'O.....radii of the same circle
So, we have angle O'AO =O'OA=x......isosceles triangle theorem
now tangent perpendicular to the radius
angle O'AT=90
so angle OAT = 90 - x..........(1)
OO' will be perpendicular to AB, since O is equidistant from A and B, OA = OB radii of the same circle
so in that triangle
angle OAB= 90 - x............(2)
from (1) and (2)
angle OAT = angle OAB
