Concepts used

 * 1) The radii of a circle are equal.
 * 2) In any circle the radius drawn at the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent.
 * 3) The tangent drawn from an external point to a circle a] are equal b] subtend equal angle at the centre c] are equally inclined to the line joining the centre and extrnal point.
 * 4) Properties of isoscles triangle.
 * 5) Properties of quadrillateral ( sum of all angles) is 360 degrees
 * 6) Sum of three angles of triangle is 180 degrees.

Algorithm
OP=OQ  radii of the same circle OA is joined. In quadrillateral APOQ , ∠APO=∠AQO=$$90^{0}$$ [radius drawn at the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent] ∠PAQ+∠POQ=$$180^{0}$$ Or, ∠PAQ+∠POQ=$$180^{0}$$ ∠PAQ = $$180^{0}$$-∠POQ --1 Triangle POQ is isoscles. Therefore ∠OPQ=∠OQP ∠POQ+∠OPQ+∠OQP=$$180^{0}$$ Or ∠POQ+2∠OPQ=$$180^{0}$$ 2∠OPQ=$$180^{0}$$- ∠POQ  --2 From 1 and 2 ∠PAQ=2∠OPQ =Problem-2= In the figure two circles touch each other externally at P. AB is a direct common tangent to these circles. Prove that a). Tangent at P bisects AB at Q b). ∠APB=90° (Exescise-15.2, B.3)

Interpretation of the problem

 * 1) In the given figure two circles touch externally.
 * 2) AB is the direct common tangent to these circles.
 * 3) PQ is the transverse common tangent drawn to these circles at point P.
 * 4) Using the tangent properties students have to show AQ=BQ and ∠APB=90°

 * 1) The tangent drawn from an external point to a circle a) are equal b] subtend equal angle at the center  c] are equally inclined to the line joining the center and external point.
 * 2) Angle subtended by equal sides are equal.
 * 3) Axiom-1:- "Things which are equal to same thing are equal"

Algorithm
In the above figure AB is direct common tangent to two circles and PQ is the Transverse common tangent. Step-1Bold text AQ=QP and BQ=QP  (Tangents drawn from external point are equal) By axiom-1, AQ=BQ ∴tangent at P bisects AB at Q.
