Circle with secant (REPOST)

VITEEE 2015 Online › Co-ordinate Geometry questions › Circle with secant (REPOST)

AB is a secant which intersects a circle with centre O at the points C and D such that AC=BD. From A, B two tangents AR and BS are drawn to meet the circle at the points P and Q respectively( as given in the diagram). PQ joined intersects chord CD at T Prove that CT=TD

compare traingles OAP and OBQ

and then compare triangles OAT and OBT

so construct the triangle and try it

Abhirup Banerjee Sir, I have proved the triangles OAP and OBQ congruent.( by R-H-S congruency) But, if you observe you will not be able to establish congrency between OAT and OBT just by comparing them. It is required to prove certain other conditions to satisfy the congruency ( S-A-S, S-S-S, or R-H-S) I will be happy if you kindly help me with a formal and a complete proof. Thanks, Abhirup Banerjee
