Question -

In the figure, PO ⊥ QO. The tangents to the circle at P and Q intersect at a point T. Prove that PQ and OT are right bisectors of each other.



Answer -

Given : In the figure, O is the centre of the circle
PO ⊥ QO
They tangents at P and Q intersect each other at T
 
To prove : PQ and OT are right bisector of each other
Proof : PT and QT are tangents to the circle
PT = QT
OP and OQ are radii of the circle and ∠POQ = 90° ( PO ⊥ QO)
OQTP is a square Where PQ and OT are diagonals
Diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles
PQ and OT bisect each other at right angles
Hence PQ and QT are right bisectors of each other.
