short definition

The converse of tangents theorem states that if two line segments are drawn from the same exterior point to a circle and are tangent to the circle, then they are congruent.

The converse of the tangents theorem states that if a line in a plane is perpendicular to a radius of a circle at its endpoint on the circle, then this line is tangent to the circle.
