7. The two tangents from an external point P to a circle with centre O are PA and PB.
If ∠APB = 70°, then what is the value of ∠AOB?
8. Two tangents TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with
centre O from an external point T.
Prove that ∠PTQ = 2 ∠OPQ.
10. In two concentric circle, a chord of the larger circle touches the smaller circle. If the length
of this chord is 8 cm and the diameter of the smaller circle is 6 cm, then find the diameter
of the larger circle.
11. In the following figure, PA and PB are two tangents drawn to a circle with centre O, from
an external point P such that PA = 5 cm and ∠APB = 60°. Find the length of chord AB.
14. ABC is an isosceles triangle, in which AB = AC, circumscribed about a circle. Show that BC is
bisected at the point of contact.
15. Prove that the angle between the two tangents to a circle drawn from an external point is
supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segment joining the points of contact at the
centre.
Or
Two tangents PA and PB are drawn from an external point P to a circle with centre O.
Prove that AOBP is a cyclic quadrilateral.
