to its chord GH : it is also perpendicular to the tangent AB ; therefore AB , GH are parallel . If both lines cut the circle , as GH , JK , and intercept equal arcs GJ , HK ; let the diameter FE bisect one of the chords , as GH : it ...

When the point A lies without the circle , there will evidently be always two equal tangents passing through the point A. For , by producing the tangent FD till it meets the circumference AG , and joining E and the point of intersection ...
