Answer:

please make me a brain list answer I very need it

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using equal angles at the centers and the fact that circles are congruent, we prove the statement using Side-Angle-Side (SAS criteria) and corresponding parts of congruent triangles (CPCT).

Prove that if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centers, then the chords are equal.

Draw chords QR and YZ in two congruent circles as shown above. Join the radii PR, PQ, and XY, XZ respectively.

Given that chords subtend equal angles at the center. So, ∠QPR = ∠YXZ.

We need to prove that chords are equal, that is, QR = YZ

Since the circles are congruent, their radii will be equal.

PR = PQ = XZ = XY

Consider the two triangles ∆PQR and ∆XYZ.

PQ = XY (Radii are equal)

∠QPR = ∠YXZ (Chords subtend equal angles at center)

PR = XZ (Radii are equal)

By SAS criteria, ∆PQR is congruent to ∆XYZ.

So, QR = YZ (Corresponding parts of congruent triangles)

Hence proved if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their center then the chords are equal.
