As the tangent is a straight line, the equation of the tangent will be of the form \(y = mx + c\). We can use perpendicular gradients to find the value of \(m\), then use the coordinates of P to find ...
AO and OC are both radii of the circle. Length AO = Length OC Draw the line OB. It creates two triangles OCB and OAB. These share the length OB.
