Answer:

For the diagram REFER THE ATTACHMENT

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let AB &CD be two equal chords intersecting at point X

To Prove:

OX makes equal angles with the chord i,e, ∠OXA = ∠OXD

Proof:

Draw OM ⊥ AB & ON ⊥ CD

In ∆OMX and ∆ONX

∠OMX = ∠ONX [Each 90°]

OX = XO [Common]

OM = ON [AB and CD are equal chords and equidistant from centre]

By RHS(Right Angle ,Hypotenuse, Side) criteria

∆OMX ≈ ∆ONX
