If two chords of a circle are equally inclined to the diameter through their point of intersection, prove that the chords are equal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given: Two chords of a circle are equally inclined to the diameter.
To prove: Chords are equal i.e AB=AC
Cons. : Draw `OLbotAB` and `OMbotAC`
Proof: In `triangleOLA` and `triangleOMA`
`angleOLA=angleOMA=90^*`
`OA=OA` (common)
`angleOAL=angleOAM`
`triangleOLA~=triangleOMA` (By RHS)
