Question

If BC is tangent to circle O and OB is a radius, what kind of triangle is OBC?

Answer 1

Hi there!

Triangle OBC is a right triangle. This is because where the radius and the tangent meet creates a right angle. A right angle is created due to the theorem that states that a radius is perpendicular to its tangent.
