Question

In figure, O is the centre of the circle and BCD is tangent to it at C. Prove that BAC+ACD=90

Open in App
Solution

OA = OC (radii of same circle)

OAC = OCA ...(1)

Since the tangents at any point of a circle is perpendicular to radius at the point of contact.

OCD = 90o

ACD + OCA = 90o

ACD + OAC = 90o [From (1)]

ACD + BAC = 90o

Hence proved.
