another construction

[soccerisgreat]

I was given a circle and a point outside the circle. I was requested to construct the tangent lines for point P to the circle. I did all that~not an issue. Now I must prove that I did indeed construct the tangents to the circle. How do I prove that?

Once again, we don’t know how you did the construction nor do we know what is required to prove tangency. That said, if the triangles formed by the point, the center and the points of tangency are right triangles that should do it.

How did you construct that - that will show you the way to prove it.
