`L\ a n d\ M` are mid-point of two equal chords `A B\ a n d\ C D` of a circle with centre `O` . Prove that `/_O L M=\ /_O M L` (ii) `/_A L M=\ /_C M L`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, given : AB and CD are two equal chords of a circle with center O.L is the mid-point of AB and M is the mid-point of CD.
`therefore` L is the mid-point of chord AB of circle with center O.
`OLbotAB`
Similarly, `OMbotCD`
Now, chord AB=chord CD
`OL=OM` (Equal chords are equidistant from the center)
In `triangleOLM`
`OL=OM`
