Circle Tangent Geometry Diagram - Properties of Tangents from an External Point #1195820 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram demonstrates key theorems in circle geometry: tangents drawn from a common external point (P) are equal in length (PT = PS), and each radius to the point of tangency is perpendicular to the tangent line (OT ⟂ PT, OS ⟂ PS). The dashed lines represent auxiliary constructions-OP bisects ∠TPS and ∠TOS-used in proofs of congruence and symmetry.

Used in high school or college geometry textbooks, online math tutorials, and exam preparation resources to teach tangent properties, proof strategies, and circle theorems. Matches user intent for visual learning, homework help, or conceptual reinforcement.
