Answer:
(C)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: BC is tangent to the circle A at D.
To prove: AB is congruent to AC
Proof:
Statements Reason
1. BC is tangent to the circle A at D. Given
2. DB≅DC Given
3.AD⊥BC If a line is tangent to a circle then it is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.
4. ∠ADB and ∠ADC are right angles Definition of perpendicular lines
5. ∠ADB≅∠ADC Right angles are congruent
6. AD≅AD Reflexive property of congruence
7. ΔADB≅ΔADC SAS rule
8. AB≅AC CPCTC
Hence, option (C) is correct.
