BD = BC if ∠D = ∠A if AC is a chord of a circle with centre O. the tangents at C to the circle meets extended diameter AB at D
Step-by-step explanation:
AB is Diameter
Hence ∠ACB = 90°
∠OCD = 90° as DC is tangent
∠ACO = ∠ACB - ∠OCB = 90° - ∠OCB
∠DCB = ∠DCO - ∠OCB = 90° - ∠OCB
=> ∠ACO = ∠DCB
∠A = ∠D
Given
=> ΔACO ≈ ΔDCB
=> AC/DC = OC/BC = AO/BD
=> OC/BC = AO/BD
=> BD/BC = AO/OC
OC = AO = Radius => AO/OC = 1
=> BD/BC = 1
=> BD = BC if ∠D = ∠A
