True
False

Solution
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Since, any diameter of the circle subtends a right angle to any point on the circle.
If AOB is a diameter of a circle and C is a point on the circle, then ΔACB is right angled at C.
In right angled ΔACB,
AC2 + BC2 = AB2 ...[Use Pythagoras theorem]
