Theorem :-2 The perpendicular from centre of a circle to the chord bisects the chord and Perpendicular bisectors of two chords of a circle intersects at the centre.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let AB and CD be two parallel chords of a circle with centre O.
Let POQ be a diameter such that `/_ PEB= 90^(@)`
Them, `/_ PED = /_ PEB = 90^(@)` [ corrses `/_s ]`
Thus, `PF _|_ CD `, and so `OF _|_ CD implies CF = FD`
