Answer:-
★ Given:-
▪︎O is the center of circle
▪︎Two equal chords AB = CD
▪︎OM ⊥ AB and ON ⊥ CD
★ To Prove:-
- OM = ON
★ Construction:-
- Join OA
- Join OC
★ Proof:-
AB = CD [ Given ]
½AB = ½CD [ half of given ]
According to theoream line Perpendicular from the centre to the chord bisects the chord
AM = CN ---- Equation 1
In ∆ OMA and ∆ ONC
OA = OC ( Each equal to radii )
∠ OMA = ∠ ONC ( Each 90° )
AM = CN ( From equation 1 )
∆ OMA ≅ ∆ ONC [ R.H.S. congruence rule ]
∴ OM = CN ( C.P.C.T. )
Hence, Proved.
