Two chords AB and AC of a circle with centre O are on the opposite sides of OA. Then, `angleOAB=angleOAC`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In figure, AB and AC are two chords of a circle.
Join OB and OC.

In `Delta OAB and DeltaOAC`,
OA=OA [common side]
OB=OC [both are the radius of circle]
Here, we arer not able to show that either the any angle or third side is equal and `Delta OAB` is not congruent to `DeltaOAC`.
`:.angleOAB ne angleOAC`.
