Hallo dear!!!
Gd evening.
Have a nice day ahead!!!
"All the best for ur 10 ."
Given: AB and CD are the two chords of a circle with centre O.
L and M are the midpoints of AB and CD and O lies in the line joining ML
To prove: AB ∥ CD
Proof: AB and CD are two chords of a circle with centre O.
Line LOM bisects them at L and M
Then, OL ⊥ AB
And, OM ⊥ CD
∴ ∠ALM = ∠LMD = 90°
But they are alternate angles
∴ AB ∥ CD.
Hope it helps u.
