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 ${90^o}$.
