Statement $-1$ : If two tangents are drawn to an ellipse from a single point and if they are perpendicular to each other, then locus of that point is always a circle 

Statement $-2$ : For an ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$ , locus of that point from which two perpendicular tangents are drawn, is $x^2 + y^2 = (a + b)^2$ .
