To prove that \( BP = BQ \) when two congruent circles intersect at points \( A \) and \( B \), and a line segment \( PAQ \) is drawn such that \( P \) and \( Q \) lie on the two circles, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Circles and Points**: Let the two congruent circles be \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \), intersecting at points \( A \) and \( B \). Draw the line segment \( PAQ \) such that \( P \) lies on circle \( C_1 \) and \( Q \) lies on circle \( C_2 \). **Hint**: Visualize the two circles and mark the points of intersection clearly. ...
