We need to prove that the length of tangents drawn from an internal point to a circle are equal Given circle (0, r)

To prove AB = AC

Proof : In triangle(s) AOB and AOC 

OBA = OCA = 90° (Tangent is perpendicular to centre of circle) OA = OA = {common side}

OB = OC = r [equal radius]

Using RHS congruence criterion rule 

Δ AOB  ≅ Δ AOC

AB = AC

Hence proved.
