Given. In a circle with centre B arc APC =
arc DQE
To prove : Chord AC≈ chord DE
Answers
Question :-
Theorem : The chords corresponding to congruent arcs of a circle (or congruent circles) are congruent.
Answer :-
Given: B is the centre of circle.
arc APC ≅ arc DQE
To prove: chord AC ≅ chord DE
Proof: [m(arc APC) = ∠ABC (i) [Definition of measure of m(arc DQE) = ∠DBE] (ii) minor arc]
arc APC ≅ arc ∠DQE (iii) [Given]
∴ ∠ABC ≅ ∠DBE [From (i), (ii) and (iii)]
In ∆ABC and ∆DBE,
side AB ≅ side DB [Radil of the same circle]
side [CB] side [EB] [Radii of the same circle]
∠ABC ≅∠DBE [From (iii), Measures of congruent arcs]
∴ ∆ABC ≅ ∆DBE [SAS test of congruency]
∴ chord AC ≅ chord DE [c.s.c.t]
