Okay, Let's begin by stating our hypothesis, the things we know are true. and the Thesis, wich is the thing we want to conclude. H) AB and AC Tangents T) AB=AC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

okay, let's begin the proof: if we draw radials segments on OB and OC qe get a perpendicular Segment. <ACO = <ABO theorem. BO=CO because they're radiuses OA is common side. => ABO=ACO =AB=AC
