Given:
AB and CD are the chords of a circle with center O.
They intersect at P.
PO is bisector of ∠APD
Prove: AB = CD
Construction:
Draw OR ⊥ AB
OQ ⊥ CD
Proof:
In ΔOPR and ΔOPQ
∠OPR = ∠OPQ ....given
OP = OP .....Common in both
∠ORP = ∠OQP ....Construction
ΔOPR ≅ ΔOPQ ......AAS axiom
∴ OR = OQ (C.P.C.T)
AB = CD.....chords of a circle\
Hence proved.
