1. In this question we aim to prove that the tangent is perpendicular to the radius drawn from its point of contact. In the diagram, C is an arbitrary point on the line AD, and B is the point at which the tangent meets the circle. B 1a What can we say about the lines OB and OC? OB = OC OB < OC B OB > OC
