Theorem The perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. Given: A circle with center O, AB is chord of a circle and OC perpendicular from the center to the chord AB. i.e. OC ⊥ AB therefore ∠OCA and ∠OCB Both angles are 900. To prove: AC = CB (C is the mid point of chord AB) […]

The vertices are said concyclic. The center of the circle is called circumcenter and radius of the circle is called circumradius. Definition: A Cyclic Quadrilateral is a quadrilateral, whose all four vertices […]

Given: A circle with center O, AB and CD are chords of circle that subtend equal angles at center O. i,e. ∠AOB = ∠COD. To prove: chord AB = chord CD Proof: In △AOB and △ CODOA = OC (Radius of circle)∠AOB […]
Read More →Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the center. Given: Two equal chords AB and CD of a circle with center O. i,e. AB = CD. To prove: ∠AOB = ∠COD Proof: In △AOB and △ COD OA = OC (Radius of circle)OB = OD (Radius of circle)AB = CD (Given) Hence, △AOB ≅ △ COD (SSS Congruence rule) ∴ ∠AOB […]
