theorem
Theorem: Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the centre (or centres).
Consider a circle of centre O . It has PQ and RS two chords of equal length.
Now , draw a perpendicular from centre to PQ and RS intersecting them at L and M .
To Prove: OL = OM
Join OQ and OS.
Proof: We know that PQ =RS (given)
QL = `(PQ )/2` (perpendicular drawn from a centre to a chord bisect the chord)
Similarly, SM =`(RS)/2`
Therefore , QL = SM
Consider ∆OQL and ∆OSM
OQ = OS (radius of the same circle)
QL = SM (proved)
∠OLQ = ∠OMS = 90° (given )
∆OQL ≅ ∆OSM (SSA rule)
OL = OM (By CPCT).
Theorem: Chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal in length.
