Answers
Answer:
OM = ON is proved
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: ON ⟂ AB and OM ⟂ CD
Construction: Join OD and OC. Join OA and OB.

Solution:
Concept: “Perpendicular bisects the chords into two equal halves”
OA = OC (Radius of circles)
OB = OD (Radius of circles)
AB and CD are equal chords, therefore
CD = AB (Equal chords have equal distance from the centre)
CM = ½ CD (Perpendicular bisects the chords into two equal halves)
CM = OM
2AN = ½ AB (Perpendicular bisects the chords into two equal halves)
AN = BN
AN + BN = CM + DM
AN + AN = CM +CM
2 AN = 2 CM
AB = CD
Therefore,
OA = OC
OB = OD
AB = CD (by SSS rule congruency, △AOB ≅ △COD)
∠ OMN = ∠ ONM
OM = ON
Hence Proved.
