In the given figure, is a kite inside the circle given below, and are the tangents to the circle at and respectively. If , then the value of is

Prove Theorem of angle between tangent and secant for the following diagram
How can you prove the converse of the above theorem. "If a line in the plane of a circle is perpendicular to the radius at its end point on the circle, then the line is tangent to the circle " .
Prove that a parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.
State and prove converse of alternate segment theorem
If line is a secant of the circle where points are on the circle and the line is such that it touches the circle at point , and where point is in the corresponding alternative segment then line is not tangent to the circle at point .

In the above diagram is a secant, is a tangent. The value of is , is . The value of is .
In the above diagram is a secant, is a tangent. The value of is , is . Find the value of .
In the diagram, is a chord and meets a diameter at . and . Find and .

Find the value of in the given diagram:

According to the converse of alternate segment theorem "If a line is drawn through an end point of a _____ of a circle so that the angle formed with the chord is equal to the angle subtended by the chord in the alternate segment, then the line is a tangent to the circle"
According to the converse of alternate segment theorem "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 subtended by the chord in the alternate segment, then the line is a "
If be an angle with the vertex that lies on a circle with the centre . Line is a secant of the circle that intersects the circle at the point . Line is a tangent at the point . Point is the interior of the angle . Point is the exterior of the angle . Then

If line is a secant of the circle where points are on the circle and the line is such that it touches the circle at point , and _____ where point is in the corresponding alternative segment then line is tangent to the circle at point .
