Prove that a diameter of a circle which bisects a chord of the circle also bisects the angle subtended by the chord at the centre of the circle.
To do:
We have to prove that a diameter of a circle which bisects a chord of the circle also bisects the angle subtended by the chord at the centre of the circle.
Solution:
Let in a circle with centre $O, CD$ is the diameter and $AB$ is the chord
which is bisected by diameter at $E$.
Join $OA$ and $OB$.
In $\triangle OAE$ and $\triangle OBE$,
$OA = OB$ (Radii of the circle)
$OE = OE$ (Common)
$AE = EB$ (Given)
Therefore, by SSS axiom,
$\triangle OAE \cong \triangle OBE$
This implies,
$\angle AOE = \angle BOE$ (CPCT)
Therefore, the diameter bisects the angle subtended by the chord.
Hence proved.
