in the given figure, O is the centre of circle, OL IS perpendicular to AB and OM is perpendicular to CB, if angle OAB =angle OCB, then prove that AB = CB.
Here AB and CB is the chord.
And as we know that Perpendicular line from centre of circle bisect the cord.
So in chord AB, AL = LB
Similarly in chord CB, CM = MB
Now in triangle AOL and COM, we have
::Angle CLA = Angle AMC = 90⁰
::OA = OC (BOTH ARE RADIUS)
::Angle LOA = Angle MOC (Vertically opposite angles)
Therefore, triangle AOL is congruent to triangle COM by AAS criterion of congruency
=> AL = MC (BY C.P.C.T)
=>2AL = 2MC (Multiplying both the sides by 2)
=>AB = BC (2AL = AB and 2MC = BC)
