ANSWER
Given : A circle have two equal chords AB and CD.
AB=CD and OM perpendicular to AB, ON perpendicular to CD
To Prove : OM=ON
Proof : AB=CD (Given)
∵ the perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to bisect the chord
∴1/2AB=1/2CD
⇒BM=DN
In △OMB and △OND
∠OMB=∠OND=900 [Given]
OB=OD [Radii of same circle]
Side BM= Side DN [Proved above]
∴△OMB≅△OND [By R.H.S.]
∴OM=ON [By C.P.C.T]
