In figure $3.88$ , circles with centers $X$ and $Y$ touch internally at point $Z$ , $S e g B Z$ is a chord of bigger circle and it intersect smaller circle at point $A$ . Prove that, $s e g A X | | s e g B Y$

Solution

The 2 segments are said to be paarallel only if the chords at theie end points are parallel.
Here the chords $A Z$ and $B Z$ lie on one another
So they are said to be parallel
Hence the segments are parallel.
