Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Q2
Tangents from same point have same length.
APB is isosceles triangle:
- m∠PAB = 1/2(180 - m∠APB) = 90 - 1/2m∠APB
We have AP ⊥ AO, so:
- m∠OAB = 90 - m∠PAB = 90 - (90 - 1/2m∠PAB) = 1/2m∠APB
- m∠APB = 2m∠OAB
Correct choice is D
Q3
Let A and B are the points on the circle, the tangents are PA and PB.
OAP and OBP are right angles.
OP is the hypotenuse of right triangles OAP and OBP.
One of the legs is half the length of the hypotenuse since OA = r and OP = 2r.
It means the angle opposite to radius is 30° according to the property of 30°×60°×90° triangle:
The angle between two tangents is:
- m∠APB = 2m∠APO = 2*30° = 60°
Correct choice is C
