Drop a perpendicular from O to both chords AB and CD In △OMP and △ONP As chords are equal, perpendicular from centre would also be equal. OM=ON OP is common. ∠OMP=∠ONP=90 o △OMP ≅ △ONP (RHS Congruence) PM=PN ......................(1) AM=BM (Perpendicular from centre bisects the chord) Similarly ,CN=DN As AB=CD AB−AM=CD−DN BM=CN .........................(2) From (1) and (2) BM−PM=CN−PN PB=PC AM=DN (Half the length of equal chords are equal) AM+PM=DN+PN AP=PD Therefore , PB=PC and AP=PD is proved.
