Solution Given that AB and CD are two chords of
a circle, with centre O intersecting at a point E. PO
is a diameter through E, such that Z AEQ = 2 DEQ
(see Fig. 10.24). You have to prove that AB = CD.
Draw perpendiculars OL and OM on chords AB and
CD, respectively. Now
LOE = 180° - 90° - Z LEO = 90° - Z LEO
(Angle sum property of a triangle)
= 90° - Z AEQ = 90° - 2 DEQ
= 90° - ZMEO = Z MOE
