Analysis : 

As shown in the figure ,line lis a tangent to the circle at point K.

seg BK is a chord of the circle and LBAK is an inscribed angle. 

By tangent secant angle theorem,

∠BAK = ∠BKR

By converse of tangent secant angle theorem, 

If we draw ∠BKR such that ∠BKR = ∠BAK, then ray KR

i.e. (line l) is a tangent at point K.
