Two tangents P Aa n dP B are drawn from ...

Two tangents `P Aa n dP B` are drawn from an external point `P` to a circle with centre `Odot` Prove that `A O B P` is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

PA and PB are tangents to the circle
`:. OA _|_ PA and OB_|_ PB `(tangent to the circle is perpendicular to radius at the of contact)
`:. /_A and /_B are 90^0`
In quadrilateral `AOBP`
`/_A + /_O +/_B+/_P = 360^`
0 `:. 90^0 + /_O + 90^0 + /_P =360`
^0 `:. /_O + /_P = 180^0`
Sum of opposite angles of quadrilateral `AOBP is 180^0`
