SSS Criteria for Congruency

Two congruent...

Question

Two congruent circles intersect each other at points A and B. Through A any line segment PAQ is drawn so that P, Q lie on the two circles. Prove that BP = BQ.

Open in App

Solution

AB is the common chord in both the congruent circles.

∴ ∠APB = ∠AQB

In ΔBPQ,

∠APB = ∠AQB

∴ BQ = BP (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle)
