ABCD in which P, Q, R, S are the points of contact as shown. If AD is
perpendicular to DC, BC=30 cm and BS = 24cm, then find the length
DC.

2. Tangent PA and AQ are drawn to circle with center O from an


external point A proe that ∠PAQ = 2 ∠OPQ.
3. Prove that the tangents drawn at the end points of a chord of a circle makes equal angles with the
chord.
4. If two tangents inclined at an angle of 60° are drawn to a circle of radius 3 cm, then find the length
of each tangent.
5. Prove that the tangents drawn at the ends of a diameter of a circle are parallel.
