7. Given: Two circles touch internally at P. O is the centre of the larger circle and OP is a diameter of the smaller circle.
Prove that PA = AB.
Step 1: Identify properties from the given information.
- O is the centre of the larger circle. P, A, B are points on the circumference of the larger circle.
Therefore, OA, OB, and OP are all radii of the larger circle.
OA=OB=OP
- OP is a diameter of the smaller circle. A is a point on the circumference of the smaller circle.
The angle subtended by a diameter at any point on the circumference is 90∘.
Therefore, $\angle O
