I hope it will help you
Here we have a circle with centre at Oand diameter AOB with a line l as tangent to the circle at A. Let us consider a chord CD||l cutting AOB at Q. As CD||l, it isapparent that CD⊥l.
Now in ΔsCOQand OQD,we have
OC=OD →both are radius of same circle
∠OQC=∠OQD=90∘ as CD||L
OQ=OQ →being common to two triangles
Hence using RHS, we have
ΔCOQ≡ΔOQDand hence CQ=DQ
i.e. AB bisects CD
