To prove that arc \( PXA \) is congruent to arc \( PYB \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information We have a circle with a chord \( AB \). The perpendicular bisector of the chord \( AB \) intersects the circle at points \( P \) and \( Q \). Let \( M \) be the midpoint of the chord \( AB \). **Hint:** Identify the key elements in the problem: the circle, the chord, and the perpendicular bisector. ### Step 2: Establish the Properties of the Perpendicular Bisector ...
