11.2. PROPERTIES OF TANGENTS TO CIRCLES.

11.2.1 Tangent to a circle






11.2.2





i) Tangents drawn from an external point are equal, AB = CB

ii) The tangents subtend equal angles at the centre, AOB = COB

iii) The line joining the external point to the centre of the circle bisects the angle
between
the tangents, ABO = CBO
p + q = 180





O

A tangent to a circle is
perpendicular to the radius
drawn to the point of
contact.
