Given: XY and X'Y' at are two parallel tangents to the circle wth centre O and AB is the tangent at the point C,which intersects XY at A and X'Y' at B.
To prove: ∠AOB = 90º .
Construction: Join OC.
Proof:
In ΔOPA and ΔOCA
OP = OC (Radii )
AP = AC (Tangents from point A)
AO = AO (Common )
ΔOPA ≅ ΔOCA (By SSS criterion)
Therefore, ∠POA = ∠COA .... (1) (By C.P.C.T)
Similarly , ΔOQB ≅ ΔOCB
∠QOB = ∠COB .......(2)
POQ is a diameter of the circle.
Hence, it is a straight line.
Therefore, ∠POA + ∠COA + ∠COB + ∠QOB = 180°
From equations (1) and (2), it can be observed that
2∠COA + 2∠COB = 180°
∴ ∠COA + ∠COB = 90°
∴ ∠AOB = 90°
Hence proved.
