prove that the line joining the mid-point of two equal chords of a circle subtends equal angles with the chord.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let AB and CD be the equal chords.
Let O be the center of the circle and Let M and N be the mid-points of the chords.
`therefore` `MB=AM`
`CN=DN`
Equal chords are equidistant from the center.
Now, OM=ON
In `triangleOAB` and `triangleOCD`
OA=OD (radius of the circle)
