Statement $-1$: If two tangents are drawn to an ellipse from a single point and if they are perpendicular to each other,then the locus of that point is always a circle.
Statement $-2$: For an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$,the locus of the point from which two perpendicular tangents are drawn is $x^2 + y^2 = a^2 + b^2$.
