Solution
The tangents drawn, at the end-points of a diameter, to a circle are parallel.
Explanation:
A tangent at a point is perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of contact. The radii to the two end-points of a diameter lie on the same straight line, so both tangents are perpendicular to the same line and hence are parallel.
