10.1 theorem
important theorem
completely detailed.......
Theorem 10. 1 states that Equal chords of the circle subtend equal angles at the center.
Have a look in the attachment for the diagram.
- Given : AB = CD ( These are the equal chords )
- To Prove : ∠AOB = ∠COD.
- Proof :
In Δ AOB & Δ COD,
AO = CO ( radius of the circle ) --- Side
AB = CD ( already given ) --- Side
BO = DO ( radius of the circle ) --- Side
Using Side Side Side congruence ( SSS ), we can say that Δ AOB ≅ Δ COD
Using CPCT ( Congruent parts of corresponding triangles ), ∠AOB = ∠COD.
∴ The given angles are proved to be equal.

Theorem 10.2 states that If the angles subtended by the chords of a circle are equal, then the chords are equal.

In Δ AOB & Δ COD,

Using CPCT ( Congruent parts of corresponding triangles ), AB = CD.
∴ The chords of the circle are proved to be equal.
