WEEK ONE
TOPIC:TANGENTS FROM AN EXTERNAL POINT
Theorem:
The tangents to a circle from an external point are equal.

Given: a point T outside a circle, centre O, TA and TB are tangents to the circle at A and B.
To prove: |TA| = |TB|
Construction: Join OA, OB and OT
In ∆s OAT and OBT
![]()
OAT = OBT = 900 (radius tangent)
|OA| = |OB| (radii)
|OT| = |OT| (common side)
∆OAT = ∆OBT (RHS)
|TA| = |TB|
Note that <AOT = <BOT and <ATO = <BTO hence the line joining the external point to the centre of the circle bisects the angle between the tangents and the angle between the radii drawn to the points of contact of the tangents.
Example:
1.In the figure below O is the centre of the circle and the TA and TB are tangents if <ATO = 390, calculate < TBX

In ∆TAX
AXT = 900 (Symmetry)
TAX = 180 – (900 + 390) sum of angles of ()
1800 – 1290 = 510
TBX = 510 (symmetry)
OR
∆ ATB is an Isosceles triangle
|AT| =|BT| (tangents from external point)
<ATO = <BTO = 390 (symmetry)
< ATB = 2(39) = 780
<TAX = < TBX (base angle of Isos ∆ )
2TBX = 1800 – 780 (sum of angle in a
2 TBX = 1020
TBX= 1020
2
TBX = 510
2.PQR are three points on a circle Centre O. The tangent at P and Q meet at T. If < PTQ = 620 calculate PRQ.

Solution
Join OP and OQ
In quadrilateral TQOP
<OQT = <OPT = 900 (radius 1 tangent)
POQ = 3600 – (900 + 900 + 620) sum of angle in a quadrilateral)
POQ = 3600 – 2420
POQ = 1180
PRQ = 1180 = 590 (2x angle at circumference = angle at centre)
2
PR1QR is a cyclic quadrilateral
R + R1 = 1800 (opp. angles of a cyclic quadrilateral )
R1 = 1800 – R
R1 = 1800 – 590
R1 = 1210
PRQ = 590 or 1210
