*********************************
AB and DC are two chords of a circle, centre O. If AB and DC meet at P and OP bisects <APC internally, how do you prove that AB = DC?
In triangles OBP and OCP,
☆☞OB=OC [being radii of the same circle]
☆☞<BPO = <CPO [as OP bisects <APC]
☆☞OP is common.
Therefore triangles OBP and OCP are congruent. So BP = CP.
In triangles AOP and DOP, OA=OD [being radii of the same circle]
<APO = <DPO [as OP bisects <APC]
OP is common.
Therefore triangles AOP and DOP are congruent. So AP = DP.
But BP = CP, so AP-BP (which is AB) =DP-CP (which is DC).

step-by-step explanation:
Given,
AB and DC are two chords of a circle having centre at O.
Now,
In triangles OBP and OCP,
OB=OC ( radii of the same circle )
angle BPO = angle CPO ( °.° OP bisects <APC )
OP is common.
Therefore,
∆ OBP and ∆OCP are congruent.
So,
BP = CP ( by C.P.C.T)
NOw,
In ∆ AOP and ∆DOP,
OA=OD ( radii of the same circle)
angle APO = angle DPO
( °.° OP bisects angle APC )
also,
OP is common.
Therefore,
∆ AOP and ∆DOP are congruent.
So,
AP = DP.
But,
BP = CP,
so,
(AP-BP) = ( DP-CP)
but,
AP -BP = AB
DP-CP = DC
therefore,
AB = CD
hence,
