= (PN - AN) (PN + AN) {tex}\left[ \begin{array} { c } { \because O N \perp A B } \\ { \therefore N \text { is the mid-point of } A B } \\ { \Rightarrow A N = B N } \end{array} \right]{/tex}
= PN2 - AN2
OP2 = ON2 + PN2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex}PN2 = OP2 - ON2
{tex}\therefore{/tex} PN2 - AN2 = (OP2 - ON2) - AN2
= OP2 - (ON2 + AN2)
= Op2 _ OA 2 [Using Pythagoras theorem in {tex}\Delta O N A{/tex}]
= OP2 - OT2 {tex}[ \because O A = O T = \text { radius } ]{/tex}
PA.PB = PN2 - AN2 and PN2 - AN2 = OP2 - OT2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} PA .PB = OP2 - OT2
Applying Pythagoras theorem in {tex}\triangle O T P{/tex}, we obtain
OP2 = OT2 + PT2
{tex}\Rightarrow{/tex} OP2 - OT2 = PT2
Thus, we obtain
PA.PB = OP2 - OT2
and OP2 - OT2 = PT2
Hence, PA.PB = PT2.
