To prove that if two chords of a circle bisect one another, they must be diameters, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Chords**: Let the two chords be \( AB \) and \( CD \) that bisect each other at point \( O \). 2. **Draw the Diagram**: Draw a circle with center \( O \). Mark points \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), and \( D \) on the circumference such that \( AB \) and \( CD \) are the chords intersecting at point \( O \). ...
