Perpendicular circles

Let P and Q be two different points on a circle C. We assume that the points do not lay on the same diameter. Draw the tangents to the circle in P and Q and let R be their point of intersection. Let C' be the circle with center in R that goes through P and Q. Prove that C and C' are perpendicular. Prove also that C' is the only circle that passes through P and Q and is perpendicular to C.

I am not sure what you mean by "C and C' are perpendicular"?
