Let the ΔABC be our basis of drawing
Given-AB=AC
AB and AC are diameters of circles with center O and O' respectively
The circles intersect at A and D
To prove-BD=DC
Proof-
By Pythogoras's theorem,
Hypotenus² = SideA²+SideB²
∴In ΔADB,
AB²=AD²+BD² (i)
Similarly, in ΔADC,
AC²=AD²+DC² (ii)
∵AC=AB
∴AC²=AB²
∴On equating (i) and (ii)
AD²+BD²=AD²+DC²
⇒ BD²=DC²
⇒ BD=DC
∴D bisects BC.
Hence proved
P.S- the figure is attached.
