उत्तर
Since O lies on the perpendirular bisector of AB, O is equidistant from A and B.
OA = OB ........ (i)
Again, O lies on the perpendirular bisector of AC, O is equidistant from A and C.
OA = OC ......... (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
OB= OC
Now in Δ OBM and Δ OCM,
OB = OC (proved)
OM=OM
BM =CM ( M is mid-point of BC)
Therefore, Δ OBM and Δ OCM are congruent.
∠ OMB= ∠ OMC
But BMC is a straight line, so
∠ OMB =∠ OMC = 90°
Thus, OM meets BC at right angles.
