Proof 3
To prove that the angle between a tangent and a radius drawn to the point of contact is a right angle.
Note that this proof is given primarily for your interest and completeness. Demonstration of the proof is beyond the GCSE course but is well worth looking at. The proofs up to now have been deductive proofs. That is they start with a premise, (a statement to be proven) followed by a chain of deductive reasoning that leads to the desired conclusion.
The type of proof that follows is a little different and is known as “Reductio ad absurdum” It was first exploited with great success by ancient Greek mathematicians. The idea is to assume that the premise is not true and then apply a deductive argument that leads to an absurd or contradictory statement. The contradictory nature of the statement means that the “not true” premise is false and so the premise is proven true.

Proof 4
To prove that OT is perpendicular to AB
•Assume that OT is not perpendicular to AB•Then there must be a point, D say, on AB such that OD is perpendicular to AB.
DC
•Since ODT is a right angle then angle OTD is acute (angle sum of a triangle).
•But the greater angle is opposite the greater side therefore OT is greater than OD.•But OT = OC (radii of the same circle) therefore OC is also greater than OD, the part greater than the whole which is impossible.
•Therefore OD is not perpendicular to AB.
•By a similar argument neither is any other straight line except OT.•Therefore OT is perpendicular to AB.
