This can be done by proving that angle AOL =angle BOL
which is possible by proving the congruency of Triangle AOL and Triangle BOL

hay!!
dear user-
Let AB be a chord of a circle C(o,r)
Let PQ be right bisector of chord AB intersecting it at L and the circle of P and Q
Since, the right bisector of a chord always passes through the center of the circle, PQ must pass through O.
join OA and OB.
in △OLA and △OLB, we have :
OA=OB. [each equal to R]
ㄥALO=ㄥBOL
OL=OL
△OLA≈△OLB
ㄥAOL=ㄥBOL
ㄥAOP=ㄥBOP
m(AP)=m(BP)
AP≈BP
I hope it's help you
