5. A tangent line to a circle is a line that intersects the circle at only one point. Euclid demonstrated that a tangent line is always perpendicular to the radius at its point of contact. In the figure, AP and BP are the tangent lines to the circle with center O at the points A and B. Show that: (a) AP = BP (b) 2 APO = L BPO. Support your reasoning.
