if a line intersect two cocentric with centre O. at A, B, C and D. prove that AB=CD
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Circles having same Centre are called concentric circles.
The perpendicular from the centre of a
circle to a chord bisects the chord.
========================================================
Let a line intersects two concentric
circles with Centre O at A, B, C and D.
To Prove:
AB=CD
Draw OM perpendicular from O on a line.
Proof:
We know that the perpendicular drawn from
the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
Here,AD is a chord of a larger circle.
OM ⊥ AD is drawn from O.
OM bisects AD as OM ⊥ AD.
AM = MD
— (i)
Here, BC is the chord of the smaller circle.
OM bisects BC as OM ⊥ BC.
BM = MC — (ii)
From (i) and (ii),
On subtracting eq i from eq ii
AM – BM = MD – MC
AB = CD
