given = Two circles with the same centre O and AB is a chord of the larger circle touching the smaller circle at C .
to prove - AC = BC
construction - Join OC
AB is a tangent to the smaller circle at the point C and OC is the radius through C .
but,the perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord .
hence , AC = BC
