if two equal chords of a circle intersect within the circle prove that the segments of one chord are equal to the corresponding segment of the chord
Answers
have the answer friend.... mark as brainliest plzzz
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-AB and CD are chords intersecting at E
AB = CD
To Prove :- AE = DE
CE = BE
Construction:- OM _|_ AB
ON _|_ CD
Proof :- OM _|_ AB
ON _|_CD
So, AM =BM =1/2 AB.
DN = CN = 1/2 CD.
As,AB= CD
1/2 AB = 1/2 CD
AM = DN
MB = CN
In triangle OME & triangle
ONE
OME = ONE
OE = OE
OM = ON
OME congruent to ONE
ME =NE
adding AM + ME =DN +NE
AE = DE
subtraction BM - ME = CN - ME
BE = CE
therefore, AE = DE & BE -CE
HENCE PROVED.
