We know that, the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
∴ TP = TQ
In ΔTPQ,
TP = TQ
⇒ ∠ TQP = ∠ TPQ ...(1) ( In a triangle, equal sides have equal angles opposite to them )
∠ TQP + ∠ TPQ + ∠ PTQ = 180º ( Angle sum property )
∴ 2 ∠ TPQ + ∠ PTQ = 180º (Using(1))
⇒ ∠ PTQ = 180º – 2 ∠ TPQ ...(1)
We know that, a tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.
OP ⊥ PT,
∴ ∠ OPT = 90º
⇒ ∠ OPQ + ∠ TPQ = 90º
⇒ ∠ OPQ = 90º – ∠ TPQ
⇒ 2 ∠ OPQ = 2(90º – ∠ TPQ) = 180º – 2 ∠ TPQ ...(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
∠ PTQ = 2 ∠ OPQ
