===Interpretation of the problem===
+
#O is the centre of the circle and tangents AP and AQ are drawn from an external point A.
+
#OP and OQ are the radii.
+
#The students have to prove thne angle PAQ=twise the angle OPQ.
+
===Concepts used.===
+
#The radii of a circle are equal.
+
#In any circle the radius drawn at the point of contact is perpendicular to the tangent.
+
#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.
+
#Properties of isoscles triangle.
+
#Properties of quadrillateral ( sum of all angles) is 360 degrees
+
#Sum of three angles of triangle is 180 degrees.
