Dear student

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
