Q10 of 63 Page 156

If in congruent circles two arcs are equal, then their corresponding chords will be—

Let us take a circle with O as centre and radius r in which arc AB arc CD.


Construction:


Join OA, OB, OC and OD.



In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,


OA = OC [radii of same circle]


OB = OD [radii of same circle]


⇒∠AOB = COD [measure (arc AB) = measure (arc CD)]


By SAS congruency,


ΔAOB ΔCOD


By CPCT,


AB = CD


In congruent circles, if two arcs are equal, then their corresponding chords will be equal.
