 If AB is a chord of a circle with centre O, AOC is a diameter and AT is the tangent at A as shown in Fig. 9.17. Prove that BAT = ACB

NCERT Exemplar Class 10 Maths Chapter 9 Ex. 9.4 Question 4

As per the inquiry,

A circle with focus O and AC as a measurement and AB and BC as two harmonies additionally AT is a digression at point A

To Prove : ∠BAT = ∠ACB

Verification :

∠ABC = 90° [Angle in a half circle is a right angle]

In △ABC By point total property of triangle

   

   

   

Presently,

OA ⏊ AT [Tangent at a point on the circle is opposite to the sweep through resource ]

   

   

   

From [1] and [2]

∠BAT = ∠ACB [Proved]
