  1. THEOREM -14 CONVERSE OF Alternate segment TheoremStatement:- “If a line is drawn through an end point of a chord of a circle so that the angle formed with the chord is equal to the angle substended by the chord in the alternate segment, then the line is a tangent to the circle”. C B o x1 X Y A y1

  2. Given:- circle with centre “O” XAY is a line meeting chord AB at A. and C is the point in the other segment such that BAY = ACB. C B o x1 X Y A y1

  3. R.T.P:- XAY is tangent to the circle Construction:-NIL C B o x1 X Y A y1

  4. Proof:- suppose XAY is not tangent to the circle. Let X‘AY’ is tangent to the circle Let X‘AY’ is tangent to the circle ACB = BAY ----------------- (1) C B o x1 X Y A y1

  5. But ACB = BAY (given) -------------- (2) From (1) & (2) BAY = BAY which is possible iff XAY coincides with XAY XAY is tangent to the circle at A. C B o x1 X Y A y1

  6. Conclusion:- “If a line is drawn through and end point of a chord of a circle so that the angle formed with the chord is equal to the angle substended by the chord in the alternate segment, then the line is a tangent to the circle”. C B o x1 X Y A y1
