Question

Two tangents pq and pr are drawn from an external point to a circle with centre o

Answer 1

Correct question-

Two tangents PQ and PR are drawn from an external point to a circle with center O. Prove that QORP is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Solution:-

Given :

PQ and PR are two tangents drawn at points Q and R are drawn from an external point P .

To Prove :

QORP is a cyclic Quadrilateral .

Proof :

OR ⏊ PR and OQ ⏊PQ

[Tangent at a point on the circle is perpendicular to the radius through point of contact ]

∠ORP = 90°

∠ORP = 90°∠OQP = 90°

∠ORP + ∠OQP = 180°

Hence QOPR is a cyclic quadrilateral. As the sum of the opposite pairs of angle is 180°
