In the given figure, two tangents RQ and RP are drawn from an external point R to the circle with centre O. If ∠PRQ = 120o, then prove that OR = PR + RQ.


Given: RQ and RP are tangents drawn from an external point R  to the circle with centre O such that ∠PRQ = 120o

To prove, PR + PQ = OR

Construction, Join OP and OQ.



Proof:
∠OPR = ∠OQR = 90o
(Radius of the circle is perpendicular to the tangent to the circle through the point contact)

We Know that the centre lies on the bisector of the angle between the two tangents.
So, ∠PRO = ∠QRO = 1/2 ∠PRQ = 60o

Now, In ΔPRO,
