Given: OA = OB and OP = OQ

To prove:

(i) PX = QX

(ii) AX = BX

Proof: In OAQ and OPB, we have,

OA = OB [Given]

O = O [Common]

OQ = OP [Given]

Thus by Side-Angle-Side criterion of congruence, we have

OAQ OPB

The corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are equal.

Therefore, OBP = OAQ ——— (1)

Thus, in BXQ and PXA, we have

BQ = OB – OQ

and, PA = OA – OP

But, OP = OQ

and OA =OB [Given]

Therefore, we have, BQ = PA ———- (2)

Now consider triangles BXQ and PXA.

BXQ = PXA [vertically opposite angles]

OBP = OAQ [from (1)]

BQ = PA [from (2)]

Thus by Angle-Angle-Side criterion of congruence, we have,

Therefore, BXQ PPXA

PX = QX [c.p.c.t]

AX = BX [c.p.c.t]
