Expert Answer
line l is tgt to the circleat P. O is the centre of the circle.OP=radius of the circle.If we hav some points Q1,Q2 etc. on l then we find that OP is the shorter distance from O in comparison to the distance OQ!,OQ2,etc. There fore OP is perpendicular to l. Hence the perpendicular OP drawn to the tangentline at P passes through the centre O of the circle..jpg)
