Two tangents PA and PB are drawn to a circle with centre O from an external point P . Prove that $\displaystyle \angle \mathrm{APB}=2 \angle \mathrm{OAB}$.In the given figure, PA is the tangent to the circle with centre O such that $\displaystyle \mathrm{OA}=10 \mathrm{~cm}, \mathrm{AB}=8 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{AB} \perp \mathrm{OP}$. Find the length of PB.
