Solution:

Let's suppose that we have circle with centre O. There are two equal chords AB and CD intersecting at point E.

Construction: Draw OM⊥AB and ON⊥CD. Join OE.

We need to prove that ∠OEM=∠OEN

In △OME and △ONE, we have

∠OME=∠ONE        (Each equal to 90°)

OE=OE                        (Common)

OM=ON             (Equal chords are equidistant from the centre)

Therefore, by RHS congruence rule, we have △OME≅△ONE

⇒∠OEM=∠OEN         (Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal)
