To determine whether the statement is True or False, we will analyze the situation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We have a circle with radius \( a \) and center \( O \). A point \( P \) is outside the circle from which two tangents are drawn to the circle, creating an angle of \( 60^\circ \) between them. 2. **Identifying the Geometry**: Let \( T_1 \) and \( T_2 \) be the points where the tangents touch the circle. The angle \( \angle T_1PT_2 = 60^\circ \). ...
