Given AB and AC are two tangents to a circle from an external point P. To prove ∠A + ∠BOC = 180° Proof By the theorem, the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact. Hence ∠OBA = ÐOCA = 90° In a quadrilateral. ABOC, ∠A + ∠ACO + ∠COB + ∠OBA = 360° (Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°) ∠A + 90° + ∠COB + 90° = 360° ∠A + ∠BOC = 180°.

In qudrilatral, 2 angles are 90° (they are between radius and tangent) By angle sum property you will get the angle between two tangents draw from an external point is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segment joining the point of contact at center
