Focus G: Tangent Properties in a Coordinate System

Steps G & H

If you applied the distance formula correctly, you should have noticed that both distances are both  .

The conclusion in step H (which we have already determined by several other means) is: The intersection point of two tangents is equidistant from their respective points of tangency.
