Example Find the equation of tangents to the circle x2 + y2 - 6x + 8y = 0, from the
point (0, 1).
A. 15x - 8y + 8 = 0 B. y = 1
C. 8x - 15y + 7 = 0 D. x = 2
Example The angle between a pair of tangents drawn from a point P to
the circle x2 + y2 + 4x - 6y + 9 sin2𝛂 + 13 cos2𝛂 = 0 is 2𝛂. The
equation of the locus of the point P is
A. x2 + y2 + 4x - 6y + 4 = 0 B. x2 + y2 + 4x - 6y - 9 = 0

C. x2 + y2 + 4x - 6y - 4 = 0 D. x2 + y2 + 4x - 6y + 9 = 0

Pair of Tangents and Pair of Radii
The length of the chord of contact,

Where R = radius and L = Length of tangent.

Area of a triangle formed by the pair of tangents and its chord of

contact =
Tangents of the angle between the pair of tangents from the point

(x1, y1)
Equation of the circle circumscribing the triangle
∆PT1T2 is (x - x1)(x + g) + (y - y1)(y + f) = 0
Example Let A be the centre of the circle x2 + y2 - 2x - 4y - 20 = 0.
Suppose that the tangents at the points B(1, 7) and D(4, -2) on
the circle meet at the point C. Find the area of the
quadrilateral ABCD.
Example Tangents drawn from the point P(1, 8) to the circle
x2 + y2 - 6x - 4y - 11 = 0 touch the circle at the points A and B.
The equation of the circumcircle of the triangle PAB is

A. x2 + y2 + 4x - 6y + 19 = 0 B. x2 + y2 - 4x - 10y + 19 = 0

C. x2 + y2 - 2x + 6y - 29 = 0 D. x2 + y2 - 6x - 4y - 19 = 0
