In △OPQ\triangle OPQ, ∠OPQ=90∘\angle OPQ = 90^\circ. A circle is drawn with centre OO and radius OPOP. (i) Show that the point PP lies on the circle. (ii) Prove that the point QQ lies on the tangent to the circle at PP. (iii) If OP=6OP = 6 cm and OQ=10OQ = 10 cm, calculate the length of the tangent segment from QQ to the circle.
