⇒ (25)2 = OP2 + (24)2
⇒ OP2 = 625 - 576
⇒ OP2 = 49
⇒ OP = 7 cm

∠OPT = ∠OQT = 90°
In quadrilateral POQT,
Sum of all interior angles = 360°
∠PTQ + ∠OPT + ∠POQ + ∠OQT = 360°
⇒ ∠PTQ + 90° + 110° + 90° = 360°
⇒ ∠PTQ = 70°
∠PTQ is equal to option (B) 70°.

∴ OA ⊥ PA and,
∴ OB ⊥ PB
∠OBP = ∠OAP = 90°
In quadrilateral AOBP,
Sum of all interior angles = 360°
∠AOB + ∠OBP + ∠OAP + ∠APB = 360°
⇒ ∠AOB + 90° + 90° + 80° = 360°
⇒ ∠AOB = 100°
Now,
In ΔOPB and ΔOPA,
AP = BP (Tangents from a point are equal)
OA = OB (Radii of the circle)
OP = OP (Common side)
∴ ΔOPB ≅ ΔOPA (by SSS congruence condition)
Thus ∠POB = ∠POA
∠AOB = ∠POB + ∠POA
⇒ 2 ∠POA = ∠AOB
⇒ ∠POA = 100°/2 = 50°
∠POA is equal to option (A) 50°
Let AB be a diameter of the circle. Two tangents PQ and RS are drawn at points A and B respectively.
Radii of the circle to the tangents will be perpendicular to it.
∴ OB ⊥ RS and,
∴ OA ⊥ PQ
∠OBR = ∠OBS = ∠OAP = ∠OAQ = 90º
From the figure,
∠OBR = ∠OAQ (Alternate interior angles)
∠OBS = ∠OAP (Alternate interior angles)
Since alternate interior angles are equal, lines PQ and RS will be parallel.
Hence Proved that the tangents drawn at the ends of a diameter of a circle are parallel.
Let AB be a diameter of the circle. Two tangents PQ and RS are drawn at points A and B respectively.
Let AB be the tangent to the circle at point P with centre O.
We have to prove that PQ passes through the point O.
Suppose that PQ doesn't passes through point O. Join OP.
Through O, draw a straight line CD parallel to the tangent AB.
PQ intersect CD at R and also intersect AB at P.
AS, CD // AB PQ is the line of intersection,
∠ORP = ∠RPA (Alternate interior angles)
but also,
∠RPA = 90° (PQ ⊥ AB)
⇒ ∠ORP = 90°
∠ROP + ∠OPA = 180° (Co-interior angles)
⇒∠ROP + 90° = 180°
⇒∠ROP = 90°
Thus, the ΔORP has 2 right angles i.e. ∠ORP and ∠ROP which is not possible.
Hence, our supposition is wrong.
∴ PQ passes through the point O.
AB is a tangent drawn on this circle from point A.
∴ OB ⊥ AB
OA = 5cm and AB = 4 cm (Given)
In ΔABO,
By Pythagoras theorem in ΔABO,
OA2 = AB2 + BO2
⇒ 52 = 42 + BO2
⇒ BO2 = 25 - 16
⇒ BO2 = 9
⇒ BO = 3
∴ The radius of the circle is 3 cm.
Let the two concentric circles with centre O.
AB be the chord of the larger circle which touches the smaller circle at point P.
∴ AB is tangent to the smaller circle to the point P.
⇒ OP ⊥ AB
By Pythagoras theorem in ΔOPA,
OA2 = AP2 + OP2
⇒ 52 = AP2 + 32
⇒ AP2 = 25 - 9
⇒ AP = 4
In ΔOPB,
Since OP ⊥ AB,
AP = PB (Perpendicular from the center of the circle bisects the chord)
AB = 2AP = 2 × 4 = 8 cm
∴ The length of the chord of the larger circle is 8 cm.
From the figure we observe that,
DR = DS (Tangents on the circle from point D) … (i)
AP = AS (Tangents on the circle from point A) … (ii)
BP = BQ (Tangents on the circle from point B) … (iii)
CR = CQ (Tangents on the circle from point C) … (iv)
Adding all these equations,
DR + AP + BP + CR = DS + AS + BQ + CQ
⇒ (BP + AP) + (DR + CR) = (DS + AS) + (CQ + BQ)
⇒ CD + AB = AD + BC
In ΔOPA and ΔOCA,
OP = OC (Radii of the same circle)
AP = AC (Tangents from point A)
AO = AO (Common side)
∴ ΔOPA ≅ ΔOCA (SSS congruence criterion)
⇒ ∠POA = ∠COA … (i)
Similarly,
ΔOQB ≅ ΔOCB
∠QOB = ∠COB … (ii)
Since POQ is a diameter of the circle, it is a straight line.
∴ ∠POA + ∠COA + ∠COB + ∠QOB = 180 º
From equations (i) and (ii),
2∠COA + 2∠COB = 180º
⇒ ∠COA + ∠COB = 90º
⇒ ∠AOB = 90°
Consider a circle with centre O. Let P be an external point from which two tangents PA and PB are drawn to the circle which are touching the circle at point A and B respectively and AB is the line segment, joining point of contacts A and B together such that it subtends ∠AOB at center O of the circle.
It can be observed that
OA ⊥ PA
∴ ∠OAP = 90°
Similarly, OB ⊥ PB
∴ ∠OBP = 90°
In quadrilateral OAPB,
Sum of all interior angles = 360º
∠OAP +∠APB +∠PBO +∠BOA = 360º
⇒ 90º + ∠APB + 90º + ∠BOA = 360º
⇒ ∠APB + ∠BOA = 180º
∴ The angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line-segment joining the points of contact at the centre.
ABCD is a parallelogram,
∴ AB = CD ... (i)
∴ BC = AD ... (ii)
From the figure, we observe that,
DR = DS (Tangents to the circle at D)
CR = CQ (Tangents to the circle at C)
BP = BQ (Tangents to the circle at B)
AP = AS (Tangents to the circle at A)
Adding all these,
DR + CR + BP + AP = DS + CQ + BQ + AS
⇒ (DR + CR) + (BP + AP) = (DS + AS) + (CQ + BQ)
⇒ CD + AB = AD + BC ... (iii)
Putting the value of (i) and (ii) in equation (iii) we get,
2AB = 2BC
⇒ AB = BC ... (iv)
By Comparing equations (i), (ii), and (iv) we get,
AB = BC = CD = DA
∴ ABCD is a rhombus.
In ΔABC,
Length of two tangents drawn from the same point to the circle are equal,
∴ CF = CD = 6cm
∴ BE = BD = 8cm
∴ AE = AF = x
We observed that,
AB = AE + EB = x + 8
BC = BD + DC = 8 + 6 = 14
CA = CF + FA = 6 + x
Now semi perimeter of triangle (s) is,
⇒ 2s = AB + BC + CA
= x + 8 + 14 + 6 + x
= 28 + 2x
⇒s = 14 + x
Area of ΔABC = √s (s - a)(s - b)(s - c)
= √(14 + x) (14 + x - 14)(14 + x - x - 6)(14 + x - x - 8)
= √(14 + x) (x)(8)(6)
= √(14 + x) 48 x ... (i)
also, Area of ΔABC = 2×area of (ΔAOF + ΔCOD + ΔDOB)
= 2×[(1/2×OF×AF) + (1/2×CD×OD) + (1/2×DB×OD)]
= 2×1/2 (4x + 24 + 32) = 56 + 4x ... (ii)
Equating equation (i) and (ii) we get,
√(14 + x) 48 x = 56 + 4x
Squaring both sides,
48x (14 + x) = (56 + 4x)2
⇒ 48x = [4(14 + x)]2/(14 + x)
⇒ 48x = 16 (14 + x)
⇒ 48x = 224 + 16x
⇒ 32x = 224
⇒ x = 7 cm
Hence, AB = x + 8 = 7 + 8 = 15 cm
CA = 6 + x = 6 + 7 = 13 cm
Let ABCD be a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle with O such that it touches the circle at point P, Q, R, S. Join the vertices of the quadrilateral ABCD to the center of the circle.

ΔOAP ≅ ΔOAS (SSS congruence condition)
∴ ∠POA = ∠AOS
⇒∠1 = ∠8
Similarly we get,
∠2 = ∠3
∠4 = ∠5
∠6 = ∠7
Adding all these angles,
∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 +∠8 = 360º
⇒ (∠1 + ∠8) + (∠2 + ∠3) + (∠4 + ∠5) + (∠6 + ∠7) = 360º
⇒ 2 ∠1 + 2 ∠2 + 2 ∠5 + 2 ∠6 = 360º
⇒ 2(∠1 + ∠2) + 2(∠5 + ∠6) = 360º
⇒ (∠1 + ∠2) + (∠5 + ∠6) = 180º
⇒ ∠AOB + ∠COD = 180º
Similarly, we can prove that ∠ BOC + ∠ DOA = 180º
Hence, opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend supplementary angles at the centre of the circle.

⇒ ∠AOB = 100°
Now,
In ΔOPB and ΔOPA,

⇒ (BP + AP) + (DR + CR) = (DS + AS) + (CQ + BQ)
⇒ CD + AB = AD + BC
In ΔOPA and ΔOCA,
OP = OC (Radii of the same circle)

∴ ΔOPA ≅ ΔOCA (SSS congruence criterion)
⇒ ∠POA = ∠COA … (i)
Similarly,
ΔOQB ≅ ΔOCB
∠QOB = ∠COB … (ii)
Since POQ is a diameter of the circle, it is a straight line.
∴ ∠POA + ∠COA + ∠COB + ∠QOB = 180 º
From equations (i) and (ii),
2∠COA + 2∠COB = 180º
⇒ ∠COA + ∠COB = 90º
⇒ ∠AOB = 90°
Consider a circle with centre O.

∴ AE = AF = x
We observed that,
AB = AE + EB = x + 8
BC = BD + DC = 8 + 6 = 14

Now semi perimeter of triangle (s) is,
⇒ 2s = AB + BC + CA
= x + 8 + 14 + 6 + x
= 28 + 2x
⇒s = 14 + x
Area of ΔABC = √s (s - a)(s - b)(s - c)
= √(14 + x) (14 + x - 14)(14 + x - x - 6)(14 + x - x - 8)
= √(14 + x) (x)(8)(6)
= √(14 + x) 48 x ... (i)
also, Area of ΔABC = 2×area of (ΔAOF + ΔCOD + ΔDOB)
= 2×[(1/2×OF×AF) + (1/2×CD×OD) + (1/2×DB×OD)]
= 2×1/2 (4x + 24 + 32) = 56 + 4x ... (ii)
Equating equation (i) and (ii) we get,
√(14 + x) 48 x = 56 + 4x
Squaring both sides,
48x (14 + x) = (56 + 4x)2
⇒ 48x = [4(14 + x)]2/(14 + x)
⇒ 48x = 16 (14 + x)
⇒ 48x = 224 + 16x
⇒ 32x = 224
