{tex}\angle OCD = 90^\circ{/tex} (tangent and radii are {tex}\bot {/tex} to one another at the point of contact)
In {tex}\triangle{/tex}OCA,
OC = OA (radii of circle)
Hence, {tex}\angle OCA = \angle OAC{/tex} (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Also, {tex}\angle OCD = \angle OCA + \angle ACD{/tex}
{tex}90^\circ = \angle OAC + \angle ACD{/tex} {tex}\left( {\because \angle OCA = \angle OAC} \right){/tex}
{tex}90^\circ = \angle BAC + \angle ACD{/tex}
Hence, {tex}\angle BAC + \angle ACD = 90^\circ{/tex}
Hence proved.
