10-1.Circle and System of Circles
medium
The angle between the tangents to the circle ${x^2} + {y^2} = 169$ at the points $(5, 12) $ and $(12, -5)$ is ............. $^o$
A
$30$
B
$45$
C
$60$
D
$90$
Solution
(d) The equations of tangents to the given circle will be $5x + 12y = 169$ and $12x – 5y = 169$.
Obviously the angle between the tangents is ${90^o}$.
