Answer:

{\huge{\pink{\mathfrak{HELLO!!!}}}}

GIVEN:- a circle with the center 'O' with tangent XY at the point of contact P.

TO PROVE:- OP perpendicular to XY.

PROOF :- let Q be point on XY join OQ suppose it touches the circle at 'R'

HENCE , OQ >OR [OP = OR RADIUS]

OQ > OP

hence , OP is the smallest line that connects XY and smallest line is perpendicular.

THEREFORE :- OPis perpendicular to XY✔
