The angle between two tangents drawn from
the origin to the circle is
The equation of any line through the origin ( 0, O) is
If it is a tangent to the circle then,
This equation, being a quadratic inm, gives two values of
say and . These two values of mare the slopes
of the tangents drawn from he origin to the given circle.
From (i), we have
Hence, the two tangents are perpendicular
Hence, the two tangents are perpendicular
of the given circle.
Hence, required angle is
