Let the tangent to the circle $\mathrm{C}_1: x^2+y^2=2$ at the point $\mathrm{M}(-1,1)$ intersect the circle $\mathrm{C}_2:(x-3)^2+(y-2)^2=5$, at two distinct points $A$ and $B$. If the tangents to $C_2$ at the points $A$ and $B$ intersect at $N$, then the area of the triangle ANB is equal to :

Let the tangents at two points A and B on the circle $\mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{y}^2-4 \mathrm{x}+3=0$ meet at origin $\mathrm{O}(0,0)$. Then the area of the triangle OAB is:

Chord Bisected at a Given Point

Equation of Chord Bisected at a Given Point 

The equation of the chord $(A B)$ of the circle $S=0$ whose midpoint is $M\left(x_1, y_1\right)$ is

coordinate of point O is $(0,0)$ and Point M is $\left(x_1, y_1\right)$
slope of $\mathrm{OM}=\frac{0-\mathrm{y}_1}{0-\mathrm{x}_1}=\frac{\mathrm{y}_1}{\mathrm{x}_1}$
$\therefore \quad$ slope of $\mathrm{AB}=-\frac{\mathrm{x}_1}{\mathrm{y}_1}$
the, equation of $A B$ is $y-y_1=-\frac{x_1}{y_1}\left(x-x_1\right)$
or

$
\mathrm{yy}_1-\mathrm{y}_1^2=\mathrm{xx}_1+\mathrm{x}_1^2
$

or

$
\mathrm{xx}_1+\mathrm{yy}_1-\mathrm{a}^2=\mathrm{x}_1^2+\mathrm{y}_1^2-\mathrm{a}^2 \quad \text { or } \quad \mathbf{T}=\mathbf{S}_1
$

Note:
Same result $T=S_1$, can also be applied to get chord bisected at a given point for any circle of type $x^2+y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0$ as well.
