Given:

Two congruent circles, let's call them $C_1$ and $C_2$, with centres $O$ and $O'$ respectively.

Since the circles are congruent, their radii are equal. Let the radius be $r$.

$AB$ is a chord of circle $C_1$ and $CD$ is a chord of circle $C_2$.

---

To Prove:

The angles subtended by these chords at their respective centres are equal.

That is, $\angle AOB = \angle CO'D$.

---

Proof:

Consider $\triangle AOB$ in circle $C_1$ and $\triangle CO'D$ in circle $C_2$.

Thus, by the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence criterion, the two triangles are congruent.

$\triangle AOB \cong \triangle CO'D$

Since the triangles are congruent, their corresponding parts must be equal (CPCT - Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles).

Therefore,

This proves that equal chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres.

Hence Proved.

Given:

Two congruent circles, let's call them $C_1$ and $C_2$, with centres $O$ and $O'$ respectively.

Since the circles are congruent, their radii are equal. Let the radius be $r$.

$AB$ is a chord of circle $C_1$ and $CD$ is a chord of circle $C_2$.

The angles subtended by the chords at their respective centres are equal.

---

To Prove:

The lengths of the chords are equal.

That is, $AB = CD$.

---

Proof:

Consider $\triangle AOB$ in circle $C_1$ and $\triangle CO'D$ in circle $C_2$.

Thus, by the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence criterion, the two triangles are congruent.

$\triangle AOB \cong \triangle CO'D$

Since the triangles are congruent, their corresponding parts must be equal (CPCT - Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles).

Therefore,

This proves that if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres, then the chords are equal.

Hence Proved.

Given:

An arc $PQ$ of a circle.

---

Construction Required:

To complete the circle from the given arc $PQ$.

---

Steps of Construction:

1. Take any three distinct points $A$, $B$, and $C$ on the given arc $PQ$.

2. Join points $A$ and $B$ to form the chord $AB$.

3. Join points $B$ and $C$ to form the chord $BC$.

4. Construct the perpendicular bisector of the chord $AB$. Let this be $LM$.

5. Construct the perpendicular bisector of the chord $BC$. Let this be $RS$.

6. Let the two perpendicular bisectors $LM$ and $RS$ intersect at a point $O$.

7. Take the point $O$ as the centre of the circle.

8. Measure the distance from $O$ to any of the points $A$, $B$, or $C$. This distance $OA$ (or $OB$ or $OC$) is the radius $r$ of the circle.

9. With centre $O$ and radius $r = OA$, draw the circle. This circle will pass through points $A$, $B$, and $C$ and is the required completion of the arc $PQ$.

---

Justification:

We know that the perpendicular bisector of any chord of a circle passes through the centre of the circle.

Since $A$, $B$, and $C$ are points on the arc (and thus on the circle to be completed), $AB$ and $BC$ are chords of the required circle.

The perpendicular bisector $LM$ of chord $AB$ must pass through the centre.

Similarly, the perpendicular bisector $RS$ of chord $BC$ must also pass through the centre.

Since the points $A$, $B$, and $C$ are not collinear (they lie on an arc), the chords $AB$ and $BC$ are not parallel.

Therefore, their perpendicular bisectors $LM$ and $RS$ are also not parallel and will intersect at a unique point.

This unique point of intersection, $O$, must be the centre of the circle.

The distance from the centre $O$ to any point on the arc ($A$, $B$, or $C$) is the radius $r$.

Hence, the circle drawn with centre $O$ and radius $r=OA$ is the required completed circle.

We can draw different pairs of circles, and the number of common points they have depends on their relative positions.

---

Let's consider the different cases for a pair of circles:

Case 1: The circles do not intersect each other.

This can happen if one circle is completely inside the other without touching the boundary, or if the circles are completely separate from each other.

Number of common points = 0.

---

Case 2: The circles touch each other at exactly one point.

This can happen internally (one circle is inside the other and they touch at one point on the circumference) or externally (the circles are outside each other and touch at one point on the circumference).

Number of common points = 1.

---

Case 3: The circles intersect each other at two distinct points.

In this case, the circles overlap in a way that their boundaries cross each other at two specific locations.

Number of common points = 2.

---

If we consider two different circles, these are the only possibilities for the number of intersection points.

The possible numbers of common points are 0, 1, or 2.

---

The maximum number of common points for a pair of circles is the largest number from the possibilities.

Therefore, the maximum number of common points is 2.

To find the centre of a given circle, we can use the property that the perpendicular bisector of a chord of a circle passes through the centre.

---

Construction:

---

Step 1: Take any three distinct points P, Q, and R on the circumference of the given circle.

Step 2: Join points P and Q to form a chord PQ.

Step 3: Join points Q and R to form another chord QR.

---

Step 4: Construct the perpendicular bisector of the chord PQ.

To do this: With P as the centre and a radius greater than half of PQ, draw arcs on both sides of PQ. With Q as the centre and the same radius, draw arcs intersecting the previous arcs at points A and B. Join A and B. The line segment AB is the perpendicular bisector of PQ.

---

Step 5: Construct the perpendicular bisector of the chord QR.

To do this: With Q as the centre and a radius greater than half of QR, draw arcs on both sides of QR. With R as the centre and the same radius, draw arcs intersecting the previous arcs at points C and D. Join C and D. The line segment CD is the perpendicular bisector of QR.

---

Step 6: The point where the perpendicular bisectors AB and CD intersect is the centre of the circle.

Let the point of intersection of AB and CD be O.

---

Verification: Since AB is the perpendicular bisector of chord PQ, any point on AB is equidistant from P and Q. Thus, OP = OQ.

Since CD is the perpendicular bisector of chord QR, any point on CD is equidistant from Q and R. Thus, OQ = OR.

From these two equalities, we have OP = OQ = OR. This means that the point O is equidistant from the three points P, Q, and R on the circumference of the circle. Therefore, O is the centre of the circle.

Given:

Two circles with centres O and O' intersect at two distinct points A and B.

---

To Prove:

The centres O and O' lie on the perpendicular bisector of the common chord AB.

---

Proof:

Consider the circle with centre O.

A and B are points on the circumference of this circle.

Since O is equidistant from A and B, O must lie on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB.

---

Now, consider the circle with centre O'.

A and B are points on the circumference of this circle.

Since O' is equidistant from A and B, O' must lie on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB.

---

Since both centres O and O' lie on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment AB, the line segment joining the centres (OO') is the perpendicular bisector of the common chord AB.

---

Therefore, the centres of the two circles lie on the perpendicular bisector of the common chord.

Given:

A circle with centre O. Two chords AB and CD intersect at a point E inside the circle. A diameter PQ of the circle passes through E such that the chords AB and CD make equal angles with the diameter PQ. Let the angle between chord AB and diameter PQ be $\angle AEP$ (or $\angle BEQ$) and the angle between chord CD and diameter PQ be $\angle CEP$ (or $\angle DEQ$). We are given that $\angle AEP = \angle CEP$.

---

To Prove:

Chord AB = Chord CD.

---

Construction Required:

Draw OM perpendicular to chord AB from the centre O, such that M lies on AB.

Draw ON perpendicular to chord CD from the centre O, such that N lies on CD.

---

Proof:

Consider the $\triangle OME$ and $\triangle ONE$.

In $\triangle OME$:

In $\triangle ONE$:

The diameter PQ passes through E. The chords AB and CD make equal angles with the diameter at E. This means the angles formed by the chords with the line segment OE (which is part of the diameter PQ) are equal.

Now, consider $\triangle OME$ and $\triangle ONE$ again.

We have:

Therefore, by Angle-Angle-Side (AAS) congruence criterion,

$\triangle OME \cong \triangle ONE$.

---

By Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles (CPCT), we have:

OM = ON

This means the perpendicular distance of chord AB from the centre O is equal to the perpendicular distance of chord CD from the centre O.

---

We know that chords which are equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal in length.

Since OM = ON, it follows that chord AB = chord CD.

---

Hence, the chords AB and CD are equal.

Given:

Two circles with centres O and O' and radii $R_1 = 5$ cm and $R_2 = 3$ cm respectively.

The distance between their centres is OO' = $d = 4$ cm.

The circles intersect at two points A and B.

---

To Find:

The length of the common chord AB.

---

Solution:

Let the centres of the two circles be O and O', and their radii be $R_1 = 5$ cm and $R_2 = 3$ cm.

The distance between the centres is OO' = 4 cm.

Let the points of intersection of the two circles be A and B. The line segment AB is the common chord.

The line joining the centres, OO', is the perpendicular bisector of the common chord AB.

Let M be the point where the line segment OO' intersects the common chord AB.

Therefore, $\angle OMA = 90^\circ$ and AM = MB.

---

In the right-angled triangle $\triangle OMA$, OA is the radius of the first circle ($R_1$), so OA = 5 cm.

By the Pythagorean theorem:

$OA^2 = OM^2 + AM^2$

---

In the right-angled triangle $\triangle O'MA$, O'A is the radius of the second circle ($R_2$), so O'A = 3 cm.

By the Pythagorean theorem:

$O'A^2 = O'M^2 + AM^2$

---

Let the distance OM = $x$ cm.

Since M lies on the line segment OO' and the distance between centres OO' is 4 cm, the distance O'M = $(4 - x)$ cm.

---

Equating the two expressions for $AM^2$:

Adding $x^2$ to both sides:

So, the distance OM = 4 cm.

---

Now substitute the value of OM = 4 cm into the equation for $AM^2$ from $\triangle OMA$:

---

Since M is the midpoint of the common chord AB, the length of AB is twice the length of AM.

---

Alternate Interpretation:

We found that OM = 4 cm, which is equal to the distance between the centres OO' (also 4 cm). This means that the point M coincides with the centre O' of the smaller circle.

Since M is the intersection of the common chord AB and the line OO', and M is O', the common chord AB passes through the centre O' of the smaller circle.

A chord passing through the centre of a circle is a diameter of that circle.

Thus, the common chord AB is a diameter of the smaller circle (with centre O').

The length of the common chord AB = Diameter of the smaller circle = 2 $\times$ Radius of the smaller circle ($R_2$).

Both methods yield the same result.

Given:

A circle with centre O. Two equal chords AB and CD intersect at a point E inside the circle.

---

To Prove:

The segments of one chord are equal to corresponding segments of the other chord.

That is, AE = CE and BE = DE (or AE = DE and BE = CE, depending on the order of intersection points, but the proof will show one possibility, which implies the other by rearranging the diagram).

---

Construction Required:

Draw OM perpendicular to chord AB, where M is on AB.

Draw ON perpendicular to chord CD, where N is on CD.

Join OE.

---

Proof:

We are given that chords AB and CD are equal.

We know that equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre.

Since OM is the perpendicular distance of chord AB from O, and ON is the perpendicular distance of chord CD from O, we have:

---

Now, consider the right-angled triangles $\triangle OME$ and $\triangle ONE$.

In $\triangle OME$:

In $\triangle ONE$:

We have:

Therefore, by the Right-angle-Hypotenuse-Side (RHS) congruence criterion, we have:

$\triangle OME \cong \triangle ONE$

---

By Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles (CPCT), we get:

---

We know that the perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.

Since $OM \perp AB$, M is the midpoint of AB. Thus, $AM = MB = \frac{1}{2} AB$.

Since $ON \perp CD$, N is the midpoint of CD. Thus, $CN = ND = \frac{1}{2} CD$.

Since AB = CD (Given), their halves are also equal:

---

Now, consider the segments of the chords:

For chord AB, the segments are AE and EB.

For chord CD, the segments are CE and ED.

Assuming E lies between A and M (and C and N), we can write:

---

Substitute (i) (ME = NE) and (ii) (AM = CN) into (iii) and (v):

So, AE = CE.

---

Substitute (i) (ME = NE) and (ii) (MB = ND) into (iv) and (vi):

So, BE = DE.

---

Thus, the segments of one chord (AE, EB) are equal to the corresponding segments of the other chord (CE, ED).

Given:

A circle with centre O. Two chords AB and CD such that AB = CD.

The chords intersect at a point E inside the circle.

The line joining the point of intersection to the centre is OE.

---

To Prove:

The line OE makes equal angles with the chords AB and CD.

That is, $\angle OEA = \angle OEC$ (or $\angle OEB = \angle OED$).

---

Construction Required:

Draw OM perpendicular from O to AB, such that M lies on AB.

Draw ON perpendicular from O to CD, such that N lies on CD.

Join OE.

---

Proof:

We are given that the chords AB and CD are equal.

We know that equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre.

Since OM is the perpendicular distance of chord AB from O, and ON is the perpendicular distance of chord CD from O, we have:

---

Now, consider the right-angled triangles $\triangle OME$ and $\triangle ONE$.

In $\triangle OME$:

In $\triangle ONE$:

We have:

Therefore, by the Right-angle-Hypotenuse-Side (RHS) congruence criterion, we have:

$\triangle OME \cong \triangle ONE$

---

By Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles (CPCT), we get:

The angle $\angle OEM$ is the angle between the line segment OE and the chord AB at their intersection point E.

The angle $\angle ONE$ is the angle between the line segment OE and the chord CD at their intersection point E.

Since $\angle OEM = \angle ONE$, the line joining the point of intersection E to the centre O makes equal angles with the chords AB and CD.

Given:

Two concentric circles with centre O.

A line intersects the outer circle at points A and D and the inner circle at points B and C. The points are in the order A, B, C, D on the line.

---

To Prove:

AB = CD.

---

Construction Required:

Draw a line segment OM from the centre O perpendicular to the line AD, such that M lies on the line AD.

---

Proof:

Consider the larger circle with centre O.

AD is a chord of the larger circle.

OM is drawn perpendicular from the centre O to the chord AD.

We know that the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.

Therefore, M is the midpoint of the chord AD.

---

Now, consider the smaller circle with centre O.

BC is a chord of the smaller circle.

OM is also the perpendicular from the centre O to the chord BC (since OM is perpendicular to the line AD containing BC).

Therefore, M is the midpoint of the chord BC.

---

From equation (i), we have AM = MD.

We can write AM as the sum of segments AB and BM (since A, B, M are collinear and in that order):

We can write MD as the sum of segments MC and CD (since M, C, D are collinear and in that order):

---

Substitute (iii) and (iv) into (i):

---

From equation (ii), we know that BM = MC.

Substitute this into equation (v):

Subtracting BM from both sides of the equation:

---

Thus, the segments intercepted by the two concentric circles on the given line are equal.

Given:

A circle with centre O and radius 5m.

Three points R, S, and M are on the circle.

The distance between Reshma and Salma is RS = 6m.

The distance between Salma and Mandip is SM = 6m.

---

To Find:

The distance between Reshma and Mandip, i.e., the length of the chord RM.

---

Solution:

Let O be the centre of the circle and its radius be 5m. So, OR = OS = OM = 5m.

The points R, S, M are on the circumference.

We are given that the length of chord RS = 6m and the length of chord SM = 6m.

Since RS = SM, the chords are equal in length.

Equal chords subtend equal angles at the centre of the circle.

Therefore, $\angle ROS = \angle SOM$.

---

Consider the $\triangle ORS$. It is an isosceles triangle with OR = OS = 5m and RS = 6m.

Draw a perpendicular OP from the centre O to the chord RS. The perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.

So, P is the midpoint of RS, which means RP = PS = $\frac{1}{2}$ RS = $\frac{1}{2}(6)$m = 3m.

---

In the right-angled $\triangle OPR$, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:

$OR^2 = OP^2 + RP^2$

$5^2 = OP^2 + 3^2$

$25 = OP^2 + 9$

$OP^2 = 25 - 9$

$OP^2 = 16$

$OP = \sqrt{16}$m = 4m.

---

Now, consider the angle $\angle ROS$. In $\triangle OPR$, which is right-angled at P:

$\cos(\angle ROP) = \frac{OP}{OR} = \frac{4}{5}$.

Since OP bisects $\angle ROS$, $\angle ROS = 2 \times \angle ROP$.

Let $\theta = \angle ROS = \angle SOM$. Then $\angle ROP = \theta/2$.

So, $\cos(\theta/2) = 4/5$.

We need to find the length of the chord RM. The angle subtended by chord RM at the centre is $\angle ROM$.

Since S is the point common to both RS and SM, and RS=SM, S lies on the arc between R and M. Thus, $\angle ROM = \angle ROS + \angle SOM = \theta + \theta = 2\theta$.

---

Consider $\triangle ROM$. It is an isosceles triangle with OR = OM = 5m. We can use the Law of Cosines to find RM:

$RM^2 = OR^2 + OM^2 - 2(OR)(OM)\cos(\angle ROM)$

$RM^2 = 5^2 + 5^2 - 2(5)(5)\cos(2\theta)$

$RM^2 = 25 + 25 - 50\cos(2\theta)$

$RM^2 = 50 - 50\cos(2\theta)$

---

We know $\cos(\theta/2) = 4/5$. We can find $\cos(\theta) = \cos(2 \times \theta/2)$ using the double angle formula $\cos(2\alpha) = 2\cos^2\alpha - 1$ with $\alpha = \theta/2$.

$\cos(\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta/2) - 1 = 2\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^2 - 1 = 2\left(\frac{16}{25}\right) - 1 = \frac{32}{25} - 1 = \frac{32 - 25}{25} = \frac{7}{25}$.

Now we need $\cos(2\theta)$ using $\cos(2\alpha) = 2\cos^2\alpha - 1$ with $\alpha = \theta$.

$\cos(2\theta) = 2\cos^2(\theta) - 1 = 2\left(\frac{7}{25}\right)^2 - 1 = 2\left(\frac{49}{625}\right) - 1 = \frac{98}{625} - 1 = \frac{98 - 625}{625} = \frac{-527}{625}$.

---

Substitute the value of $\cos(2\theta)$ into the equation for $RM^2$:

$RM^2 = 50 - 50\left(\frac{-527}{625}\right)$

$RM^2 = 50 + \frac{50 \times 527}{625}$

$RM^2 = 50 + \frac{\cancel{50}^{2} \times 527}{\cancel{625}_{25}}$

$RM^2 = 50 + \frac{2 \times 527}{25}$

$RM^2 = 50 + \frac{1054}{25}$

$RM^2 = \frac{50 \times 25 + 1054}{25}$

$RM^2 = \frac{1250 + 1054}{25}$

$RM^2 = \frac{2304}{25}$

---

Now, take the square root of both sides to find RM:

$RM = \sqrt{\frac{2304}{25}}$

$RM = \frac{\sqrt{2304}}{\sqrt{25}}$

$RM = \frac{48}{5}$

$RM = 9.6$ m.

---

The distance between Reshma and Mandip is 9.6 m.

Given:

A circular park with centre O and radius R = 20m.

Three boys, Ankur (A), Syed (S), and David (D), are sitting at equal distances on the boundary of the circle.

---

To Find:

The length of the string of each phone, which is the distance between each pair of boys (length of the sides of the triangle formed by A, S, and D).

---

Solution:

Since the three boys A, S, and D are sitting at equal distances on the boundary of the circle, their positions form an equilateral triangle inscribed in the circle.

Let the side length of the equilateral triangle be $s$. This is the length of the string between any two boys.

So, AS = SD = DA = $s$.

---

The centre of the circle O is equidistant from the vertices of the inscribed triangle. Thus, OA = OS = OD = Radius = 20m.

The equilateral triangle divides the total angle at the centre ($360^\circ$) into three equal parts.

---

Consider the triangle $\triangle AOS$. It is an isosceles triangle with OA = OS = 20m and the angle between the equal sides is $\angle AOS = 120^\circ$.

To find the length of the side AS, we can draw a perpendicular from O to AS. Let M be the point where the perpendicular from O meets AS.

The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord and also bisects the angle subtended by the chord at the centre.

So, OM $\perp$ AS, M is the midpoint of AS, and $\angle AOM = \frac{1}{2} \angle AOS = \frac{1}{2}(120^\circ) = 60^\circ$.

In the right-angled triangle $\triangle OMA$, we have:

---

Since M is the midpoint of AS, the length of the chord AS is $2 \times AM$.

The length of the string of each phone is the side length of the equilateral triangle.

---

Therefore, the length of the string of each phone is $20\sqrt{3}$ metres.

Given:

A circle with centre O and diameter AB.

CD is a chord of the circle such that CD is equal to the radius of the circle.

AC and BD are extended to intersect at a point E outside the circle.

---

To Prove:

$\angle AEB = 60^\circ$.

---

Construction Required:

Join OC and OD.

---

Proof:

We are given that the chord CD is equal to the radius of the circle.

Let r be the radius of the circle. So, OC = OD = r.

In $\triangle OCD$, we have OC = OD = CD = r.

Therefore, $\triangle OCD$ is an equilateral triangle.

The angles of an equilateral triangle are all $60^\circ$.

---

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by the same arc at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

The measure of arc CD is equal to the angle it subtends at the centre.

---

AB is the diameter of the circle.

A diameter subtends an angle of $180^\circ$ at the centre, forming a semicircle.

The measure of the arc AB (the larger arc) is $180^\circ$.

---

The angle formed by two secants intersecting outside a circle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

In this case, the lines AE (containing chord AC) and BE (containing chord BD) are secants from point E. They intercept arcs AB and CD.

Substitute the measures of the arcs:

---

Therefore, $\angle AEB = 60^\circ$.

Given:

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

AC and BD are its diagonals.

---

To Find:

The measure of $\angle BCD$.

---

Solution:

We know that angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

---

Consider the chord CD. The angle subtended by chord CD at point B is $\angle DBC$. The angle subtended by chord CD at point A is $\angle CAD$. These angles are in the same segment.

---

Consider the chord BC. The angle subtended by chord BC at point A is $\angle BAC$. The angle subtended by chord BC at point D is $\angle BDC$. These angles are in the same segment.

---

Now, consider the triangle $\triangle BCD$. The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.

Substitute the known values of $\angle CDB$ and $\angle DBC$:

---

Alternatively, using properties of cyclic quadrilaterals:

We found $\angle CAD = 55^\circ$ and $\angle BAC = 45^\circ$.

$\angle BAD = \angle BAC + \angle CAD = 45^\circ + 55^\circ = 100^\circ$.

In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is $180^\circ$.

---

The measure of $\angle BCD$ is $80^\circ$.

Given:

Two circles intersect at points A and B.

AD is a diameter of one circle.

AC is a diameter of the other circle.

---

To Prove:

B lies on the line segment DC.

---

Proof:

Consider the circle with diameter AD. Since angle in a semicircle is a right angle, the angle subtended by the diameter AD at any point on the circumference is $90^\circ$. Point B lies on this circle.

Now, consider the circle with diameter AC. Similarly, the angle subtended by the diameter AC at any point on the circumference is $90^\circ$. Point B also lies on this circle.

Consider the angles $\angle$ABD and $\angle$ABC at point B.

These are adjacent angles sharing the common arm AB.

The sum of these angles is:

$\angle$ABD + $\angle$ABC = $90^\circ$ + $90^\circ = $180^\circ$.

Since the sum of the adjacent angles $\angle$ABD and $\angle$ABC is $180^\circ$, their non-common arms, BD and BC, form a straight line.

This means that points D, B, and C are collinear.

Therefore, B lies on the line segment DC.

---

Hence Proved.

Given:

A quadrilateral ABCD.

The internal angle bisectors of angles A, B, C, and D are drawn.

Let the angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ intersect at P.

Let the angle bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ intersect at Q.

Let the angle bisectors of $\angle C$ and $\angle D$ intersect at R.

Let the angle bisectors of $\angle D$ and $\angle A$ intersect at S.

These intersection points form a quadrilateral PQRS.

---

To Prove:

The quadrilateral PQRS is cyclic.

To prove that a quadrilateral is cyclic, we need to show that the sum of opposite angles is $180^\circ$, i.e., $\angle P + \angle R = 180^\circ$ and $\angle Q + \angle S = 180^\circ$.

---

Proof:

In $\triangle APB$, the sum of angles is $180^\circ$.

P lies on the angle bisector of $\angle A$, so $\angle PAB = \frac{1}{2} \angle A$.

P lies on the angle bisector of $\angle B$, so $\angle PBA = \frac{1}{2} \angle B$.

---

The angle $\angle APB$ is vertically opposite to $\angle SPQ$. Thus, $\angle SPQ = \angle APB$.

---

Similarly, consider $\triangle CRD$. The sum of angles is $180^\circ$.

R lies on the angle bisector of $\angle C$, so $\angle RCD = \frac{1}{2} \angle C$.

R lies on the angle bisector of $\angle D$, so $\angle RDC = \frac{1}{2} \angle D$.

---

The angle $\angle CRD$ is vertically opposite to $\angle QRS$. Thus, $\angle QRS = \angle CRD$.

---

Now, consider the sum of opposite angles of the quadrilateral PQRS: $\angle SPQ + \angle QRS$.

The sum of the interior angles of any quadrilateral ABCD is $360^\circ$.

Substitute this into the equation for $\angle SPQ + \angle QRS$:

Since the sum of a pair of opposite angles of quadrilateral PQRS is $180^\circ$, the quadrilateral PQRS is cyclic.

---

The same proof can be applied to the other pair of opposite angles $\angle PQR$ and $\angle RSP$ using triangles $\triangle BQC$ and $\triangle DSA$.

In $\triangle BQC$, $\angle BQC = 180^\circ - \frac{1}{2}(\angle B + \angle C)$.

In $\triangle DSA$, $\angle DSA = 180^\circ - \frac{1}{2}(\angle D + \angle A)$.

$\angle PQR$ is vertically opposite to $\angle BQC$, so $\angle PQR = \angle BQC$.

$\angle RSP$ is vertically opposite to $\angle DSA$, so $\angle RSP = \angle DSA$.

Since both pairs of opposite angles sum to $180^\circ$, the quadrilateral PQRS is cyclic.

Given:

A circle with centre O.

Points A, B, C are on the circle.

D is a point on the circle other than the arc ABC (meaning D is on the major arc AC).

---

To Find:

The measure of $\angle ADC$.

---

Solution:

The angle subtended by the arc AB at the centre is $\angle AOB = 60^\circ$.

The angle subtended by the arc BC at the centre is $\angle BOC = 30^\circ$.

The angle subtended by the arc AC at the centre is the sum of the angles subtended by arcs AB and BC at the centre, assuming B is between A and C on the minor arc.

---

The arc AC subtends the angle $\angle AOC$ at the centre and $\angle ADC$ at point D on the remaining part of the circle (which is the major arc ADC).

We know that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

Substitute the value of $\angle AOC$:

---

The measure of $\angle ADC$ is $45^\circ$.

Given:

A circle with centre O.

A chord AB such that its length is equal to the radius of the circle.

---

To Find:

The angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc and at a point on the major arc.

---

Solution:

Let the radius of the circle be $r$. So, OA = OB = $r$ (Radii of the circle).

We are given that the length of the chord AB is equal to the radius, so AB = $r$.

---

Consider $\triangle OAB$.

We have OA = OB = AB = $r$.

Since all three sides of $\triangle OAB$ are equal to the radius, $\triangle OAB$ is an equilateral triangle.

In an equilateral triangle, all angles are equal to $60^\circ$.

The angle subtended by the chord AB at the centre O is $\angle AOB$.

---

Let C be a point on the major arc AB. The angle subtended by the chord AB at point C is $\angle ACB$.

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

The minor arc AB subtends $\angle AOB$ at the centre and $\angle ACB$ at a point C on the major arc (the remaining part).

This is the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the major arc.

---

Let D be a point on the minor arc AB. The angle subtended by the chord AB at point D is $\angle ADB$.

The points A, C, B, D lie on the circle, forming a cyclic quadrilateral ACBD.

In a cyclic quadrilateral, the sum of opposite angles is $180^\circ$.

Angles $\angle ACB$ and $\angle ADB$ are opposite angles in the cyclic quadrilateral ACBD.

Substitute the value of $\angle ACB$:

This is the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc.

---

The angle subtended by the chord at a point on the major arc is $30^\circ$.

The angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc is $150^\circ$.

Given:

P, Q, and R are points on a circle with centre O.

$\angle$PQR = $100^\circ$.

---

To Find:

$\angle$OPR.

---

Solution:

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

The angle $\angle$PQR is subtended by the minor arc PR at point Q on the remaining part of the circle.

The angle subtended by the minor arc PR at the centre is the reflex angle $\angle$POR.

Reflex $\angle$POR = 2 $\times 100^\circ = 200^\circ$.

The non-reflex angle $\angle$POR is $360^\circ$ - Reflex $\angle$POR.

$\angle$POR = $160^\circ$.

Now, consider the triangle $\triangle$OPR.

Therefore, $\triangle$OPR is an isosceles triangle.

In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal.

In $\triangle$OPR, the sum of angles is $180^\circ$.

Substitute the values:

---

The value of $\angle$OPR is $10^\circ$.

Given:

Points A, B, C are on a circle.

D is a point on the circle.

---

To Find:

The measure of $\angle BDC$.

---

Solution:

Consider $\triangle ABC$. The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.

Substitute the given values of $\angle ABC$ and $\angle ACB$:

---

We know that angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

Consider the chord BC. The angle subtended by chord BC at point A is $\angle BAC$. The angle subtended by chord BC at point D is $\angle BDC$. These angles are in the same segment (the segment containing point A and point D).

Substitute the value of $\angle BAC$:

---

The measure of $\angle BDC$ is $80^\circ$.

Given:

A, B, C, and D are four points on a circle, forming a cyclic quadrilateral.

Diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.

---

To Find:

The measure of $\angle BAC$.

---

Solution:

Consider the straight line BD. The angles $\angle BEC$ and $\angle CED$ are angles on a straight line, so they are supplementary.

Substitute the value of $\angle BEC$:

---

Now consider $\triangle CED$. The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.

Substitute the values of $\angle ECD$ and $\angle CED$:

So, $\angle CDB = 110^\circ$.

---

We know that angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

Consider the chord BC. The angle subtended by chord BC at point A is $\angle BAC$. The angle subtended by chord BC at point D is $\angle BDC$. These angles are in the same segment.

Substitute the value of $\angle BDC$:

Wait, this result seems incorrect given the diagram. Let's recheck the angles. Ah, in $\triangle CED$, we have $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$ and $\angle CED = 50^\circ$. The third angle is $\angle EDC = \angle CDE$.

$\angle EDC = 180^\circ - (20^\circ + 50^\circ) = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$. This is correct.

The angle subtended by chord BC at D is $\angle BDC$. In the diagram, $\angle BDC$ is part of $\angle EDC$. This suggests that the points B, E, D are collinear and C, E, A are collinear. The angle $\angle CDE$ refers to $\angle CDB$. So $\angle CDB = 110^\circ$.

However, angles in the same segment are equal. $\angle BAC$ and $\angle BDC$ subtend the same arc BC.

There must be a mistake in assuming $\angle CDE = \angle CDB$ is $110^\circ$. $\angle CDB$ is only part of $\angle ADC$.

Let's use the triangle $\triangle BEC$ and $\triangle AED$.

In $\triangle BEC$, $\angle EBC + \angle ECB + \angle BEC = 180^\circ$.

$\angle EBC + \angle ECB + 130^\circ = 180^\circ$.

$\angle EBC + \angle ECB = 50^\circ$.

$\angle EBC = \angle DBC$ and $\angle ECB = \angle ACB$.

So, $\angle DBC + \angle ACB = 50^\circ$.

---

Let's use the angles in the same segment property correctly.

Chord CD subtends $\angle CAD$ and $\angle CBD$. So $\angle CAD = \angle CBD$.

Chord BC subtends $\angle BAC$ and $\angle BDC$. So $\angle BAC = \angle BDC$.

Chord AD subtends $\angle ABD$ and $\angle ACD$. So $\angle ABD = \angle ACD$.

Chord AB subtends $\angle ADB$ and $\angle ACB$. So $\angle ADB = \angle ACB = 31^\circ$.

---

In $\triangle CED$:

Substitute the known values:

So, $\angle ADC = 110^\circ$. This is not $\angle BDC$.

Let's look at $\triangle BCE$.

$\angle BCE$ is the same as $\angle ACB$. We are not given $\angle ACB$. The question gives $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$. Let's assume the diagram is accurate with the labels.

Let's use the fact that angles in the same segment are equal.

$\angle BAC = \angle BDC$ (Angles subtended by chord BC)

$\angle CBD = \angle CAD$ (Angles subtended by chord CD)

$\angle ACB = \angle ADB$ (Angles subtended by chord AB)

$\angle CAD + \angle CBD = \angle DAB$

$\angle ACB + \angle ACD = \angle BCD$

---

We are given $\angle BEC = 130^\circ$ and $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$.

In $\triangle CED$, the exterior angle $\angle BEC$ is equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles $\angle ECD$ and $\angle CDE$.

Substitute the given values:

The angle $\angle CDE$ is the same as $\angle CDB$.

---

We need to find $\angle BAC$. We know that $\angle BAC$ and $\angle BDC$ are angles in the same segment (subtended by chord BC).

Substitute the value of $\angle BDC$:

This answer of $110^\circ$ for $\angle BAC$ looks extremely large for the diagram. Let me double-check the external angle property application.

In $\triangle CDE$, the exterior angle at E is $\angle BEC$. The interior opposite angles are $\angle ECD$ and $\angle CDE$. This seems correct.

So $\angle CDE = 110^\circ$ is the measure of $\angle BDC$.

Therefore, $\angle BAC = 110^\circ$.

Let me check if I misinterpreted the diagram or the question. Given $\angle BEC = 130^\circ$, $\angle CED = 50^\circ$. Given $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$. In $\triangle CED$, $20^\circ + 50^\circ + \angle CDE = 180^\circ$, so $\angle CDE = 110^\circ$. Yes, this calculation is correct.

Now, $\angle BAC$ and $\angle BDC$ subtend the same arc BC. So $\angle BAC = \angle BDC$.

So $\angle BAC = 110^\circ$. This contradicts the visual representation in the diagram where $\angle BAC$ appears acute.

Perhaps there is a mistake in the question statement or the diagram provided.

Let's assume the question meant $\angle DBC = 20^\circ$ instead of $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$. If $\angle DBC = 20^\circ$, then $\angle DAC = 20^\circ$ (angles in same segment). If $\angle BEC = 130^\circ$, then in $\triangle BEC$, $\angle EBC + \angle ECB = 180^\circ - 130^\circ = 50^\circ$. $\angle EBC = \angle DBC = 20^\circ$. So $\angle ECB = 50^\circ - 20^\circ = 30^\circ$. $\angle ACB = 30^\circ$. Then $\angle ADB = 30^\circ$ (angles in same segment). This doesn't seem to lead to a straightforward answer for $\angle BAC$.

Let's stick to the given information: $\angle BEC = 130^\circ$ and $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$.

We correctly deduced $\angle CDE = \angle BDC = 110^\circ$ using the exterior angle property on $\triangle CED$.

Angles in the same segment are equal, so $\angle BAC = \angle BDC$.

Therefore, $\angle BAC = 110^\circ$.

If the question intends a different answer, there might be an error in the provided values or diagram.

Let's consider the possibility that the point E is inside the circle, which is indicated by the diagonals intersecting at E. In this case, the exterior angle property is applied correctly to $\triangle CED$.

It is possible that the diagram is misleading, and the calculated value of $110^\circ$ is correct based on the given numerical values.

Let's re-read the question carefully. A, B, C and D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a point E. $\angle BEC = 130^\circ$ and $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$. Find $\angle BAC$.

All steps taken are correct based on the given values and standard geometric theorems. The only issue is the discrepancy with the diagram.

Let's assume the calculated value is correct based on the numbers.

Step 1: Find $\angle CED$ using linear pair.

Step 2: Find $\angle CDE$ in $\triangle CED$ using angle sum property OR using exterior angle property $\angle BEC = \angle ECD + \angle CDE$. Both give $\angle CDE = 110^\circ$.

Step 3: Use the property that angles in the same segment are equal: $\angle BAC = \angle BDC = \angle CDE$.

Therefore, $\angle BAC = 110^\circ$.

However, it is highly likely that $\angle BAC$ should be acute based on typical problems and the diagram. If $\angle BAC = 110^\circ$, then $\angle BDC = 110^\circ$.

Let's re-examine the exterior angle property. $\angle BEC = 130^\circ$. In $\triangle CDE$, $\angle CED = 50^\circ$. $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$. $\angle CDE = 180 - 50 - 20 = 110^\circ$. This is correct.

Angles subtended by chord BC are $\angle BAC$ and $\angle BDC$. So $\angle BAC = \angle BDC$.

Yes, $\angle BDC = 110^\circ$. And thus $\angle BAC = 110^\circ$.

Let's check if there's another approach. Angles subtended by chord CD are $\angle CAD$ and $\angle CBD$. Let's call them $x$.

Angles subtended by chord AB are $\angle ACB$ and $\angle ADB$. Let's call them $y$.

In $\triangle BCE$, $\angle BEC = 130^\circ$. $\angle EBC + \angle ECB = 180 - 130 = 50^\circ$.

$\angle EBC = \angle CBD = x$. $\angle ECB = \angle ACB = y$. So $x + y = 50^\circ$.

In $\triangle ADE$, $\angle AED = 180 - 130 = 50^\circ$. $\angle EAD + \angle EDA = 180 - 50 = 130^\circ$.

$\angle EAD = \angle CAD = x$. $\angle EDA = \angle ADB = y$. So $x + y = 130^\circ$.

This gives $x + y = 50^\circ$ and $x + y = 130^\circ$, which is a contradiction unless my assumption about the angles in $\triangle BCE$ is wrong regarding the angles in the segment.

Ah, $\angle ECB = \angle ACB$. $\angle EBC = \angle DBC$.

We are given $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$. This is part of $\angle BCD$.

Let's go back to the first method which seems more direct.

In $\triangle CED$, $\angle CED = 180^\circ - \angle BEC = 180^\circ - 130^\circ = 50^\circ$.

Sum of angles in $\triangle CED = 180^\circ$.

So, $\angle BDC = \angle CDE = 110^\circ$.

Angles in the same segment are equal: $\angle BAC = \angle BDC$.

$\angle BAC = 110^\circ$.

It is possible the diagram is not drawn to scale.

However, let me consider if $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$ implies $\angle BCD$ is larger or smaller than $20^\circ$. $\angle ECD$ is a part of the angle $\angle BCD$. So $\angle BCD = \angle BCE + \angle ECD = \angle BCE + 20^\circ$.

Let's check if I can find a relationship between $\angle BAC$ and $\angle BEC$ using other angles.

In $\triangle BCE$, $\angle EBC + \angle BCE = 50^\circ$. Let $\angle EBC = \alpha$. Then $\angle BCE = 50^\circ - \alpha$.

$\angle EBC = \angle DBC = \alpha$. So $\angle DAC = \alpha$ (angles in same segment CD).

$\angle BCE = \angle ACB = 50^\circ - \alpha$. So $\angle ADB = 50^\circ - \alpha$ (angles in same segment AB).

We are given $\angle ECD = 20^\circ$.

$\angle BCD = \angle BCE + \angle ECD = (50^\circ - \alpha) + 20^\circ = 70^\circ - \alpha$.

Also, in cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, $\angle BAD + \angle BCD = 180^\circ$.

$\angle BAD = \angle BAC + \angle CAD = \angle BAC + \alpha$.

So, $(\angle BAC + \alpha) + (70^\circ - \alpha) = 180^\circ$

$\angle BAC + 70^\circ = 180^\circ$

$\angle BAC = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$.

This confirms the previous result. It seems the diagram is indeed misleading.

---

Final Calculation Steps:

In $\triangle CED$, $\angle CED = 180^\circ - \angle BEC = 180^\circ - 130^\circ = 50^\circ$ (Linear pair).

In $\triangle CED$, by angle sum property, $\angle CDE = 180^\circ - (\angle ECD + \angle CED) = 180^\circ - (20^\circ + 50^\circ) = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$.

The angle $\angle CDE$ is the same as $\angle BDC$. So, $\angle BDC = 110^\circ$.

Angles subtended by the same chord BC in the same segment are equal.

Based on the given numerical values and geometric theorems, the answer is $110^\circ$.

Given:

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Diagonals AC and BD intersect at E.

Also, AB = BC for the second part of the question.

---

To Find:

1. $\angle BCD$

2. $\angle ECD$ (if AB = BC)

---

Solution:

Part 1: Find $\angle BCD$

---

We know that angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

Consider the chord BC. The angles subtended by chord BC at points A and D are $\angle BAC$ and $\angle BDC$ respectively. These angles are in the same segment.

---

Now, consider $\triangle BCD$. The sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.

Substitute the known values of $\angle CDB$ and $\angle DBC$:

---

Alternate Method for Part 1:

Consider the chord CD. The angles subtended by chord CD at points B and A are $\angle DBC$ and $\angle CAD$ respectively. These angles are in the same segment.

Now, consider the angle $\angle BAD$ of the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD.

In a cyclic quadrilateral, opposite angles are supplementary.

---

Thus, $\angle BCD = 80^\circ$.

---

Part 2: Find $\angle ECD$ if AB = BC

---

We are given that chord AB is equal to chord BC.

We know that equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the circumference.

The angles subtended by chord AB at point D and point C are $\angle ADB$ and $\angle ACB$ respectively. These angles are in the same segment.

The angles subtended by chord BC at point A and point D are $\angle BAC$ and $\angle BDC$ respectively. These angles are in the same segment.

Since AB = BC, the angles subtended by these chords from any point on the circumference are equal.

Consider the angles subtended at point D: $\angle ADB$ by chord AB and $\angle BDC$ by chord BC.

From Part 1, we found $\angle BDC = 30^\circ$.

---

We know that the angle $\angle BCD$ is the sum of angles $\angle ACB$ and $\angle ACD$ (or $\angle ECD$).

From Part 1, we found $\angle BCD = 80^\circ$.

Now, consider the angles subtended by chord AB at the circumference, which are $\angle ACB$ and $\angle ADB$. These are angles in the same segment.

We found $\angle ADB = 30^\circ$.

---

Substitute the value of $\angle ACB$ into the equation for $\angle BCD$:

Since E lies on AC, $\angle ECD$ is the same as $\angle ACD$.

---

Therefore, $\angle BCD = 80^\circ$ and $\angle ECD = 50^\circ$ (given AB = BC).

Given:

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

The diagonals AC and BD are diameters of the circle passing through the vertices A, B, C, and D.

---

To Prove:

ABCD is a rectangle.

To prove that a quadrilateral is a rectangle, we need to show that all its angles are $90^\circ$.

---

Proof:

Since AC is a diameter of the circle, the angle subtended by the diameter at any point on the circumference is a right angle ($90^\circ$).

Points B and D are on the circumference.

---

Similarly, since BD is a diameter of the circle, the angle subtended by the diameter at any point on the circumference is a right angle ($90^\circ$).

Points A and C are on the circumference.

---

In quadrilateral ABCD, all four interior angles are $90^\circ$:

$\angle A = 90^\circ$, $\angle B = 90^\circ$, $\angle C = 90^\circ$, $\angle D = 90^\circ$.

A quadrilateral with all angles equal to $90^\circ$ is a rectangle.

---

Alternatively, we can also show that the diagonals bisect each other and are equal.

Since AC and BD are both diameters of the same circle, they pass through the centre O, and they are equal in length (diameter = 2 $\times$ radius).

The point of intersection of the diagonals is the centre O. Since O is the centre, it is the midpoint of both diameters AC and BD.

A quadrilateral whose diagonals are equal and bisect each other is a rectangle.

---

Both methods prove that the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD is a rectangle.

Given:

A trapezium ABCD in which AB $\parallel$ CD.

The non-parallel sides are equal, i.e., AD = BC.

---

To Prove:

Trapezium ABCD is cyclic.

To prove that a quadrilateral is cyclic, we need to show that the sum of opposite angles is $180^\circ$, i.e., $\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ$ and $\angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ$.

---

Construction Required:

Draw a line through D parallel to AB, intersecting BC extended at E. (This construction is not typically needed for this proof, a perpendicular construction is more standard). Let's use the standard perpendicular construction.

Draw perpendiculars from A and B to the line CD. Let AF $\perp$ CD and BG $\perp$ CD, where F and G lie on CD.

---

Proof:

In trapezium ABCD, AB $\parallel$ CD.

Draw AF $\perp$ CD and BG $\perp$ CD.

Consider the quadrilateral ABGF. Since AF $\perp$ CD and BG $\perp$ CD, AF $\parallel$ BG. Also, AB $\parallel$ FG (part of CD).

Therefore, ABGF is a rectangle. In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal.

---

Now consider the right-angled triangles $\triangle AFD$ and $\triangle BGC$.

We have:

Therefore, by the Right-angle-Hypotenuse-Side (RHS) congruence criterion, we have:

$\triangle AFD \cong \triangle BGC$

---

By Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles (CPCT), we get:

---

Since AB $\parallel$ CD (or AB $\parallel$ CG and AB $\parallel$ DF), and AD is a transversal, the sum of consecutive interior angles is $180^\circ$.

This property applies to parallel lines intersected by a transversal. For non-parallel sides of a trapezium, the angles on the same side of the transversal between the parallel sides are supplementary.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, and AD is a transversal:

This notation $\angle ADC_{int}$ is confusing. Let's use the angles of the trapezium directly.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, and AD is a transversal, $\angle DAB + \angle ADC = 180^\circ$ if AD was parallel to BC (which is not the case for a trapezium). The sum of angles on the same side between the parallel lines is supplementary.

So, $\angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ$ and $\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$ is the condition for the non-parallel sides being parallel (i.e., a parallelogram), which is not what we have.

The property of parallel lines and transversals is: if AB $\parallel$ CD, then $\angle DAB + \angle ADC$ is not necessarily $180^\circ$. Instead, the sum of interior angles on the same side of a transversal, where the transversal is NOT one of the parallel lines, involves the other parallel line.

Let's use the fact that $\angle D = \angle C$.

In a trapezium ABCD with AB $\parallel$ CD:

Substitute $\angle C = \angle D$:

This doesn't directly help to show opposite angles are supplementary.

---

Let's go back to $\angle D = \angle C$. We need to show $\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ$ and $\angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ$.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, and AD is a transversal, let's consider the angles. No simple relation like supplementary.

Consider drawing a line through B parallel to AD, intersecting CD at M.

Then ADMB is a parallelogram (AB $\parallel$ DM and AD $\parallel$ BM).

So, AD = BM and $\angle DAB = \angle BME$. Also AB = DM.

We are given AD = BC. Since AD = BM, we have BM = BC.

In $\triangle BMC$, BM = BC, so it is an isosceles triangle.

Angles on a straight line CD (CM + MD = CD).

Consider the line CD. $\angle BMC + \angle BMA = 180^\circ$ (linear pair)? No, M is on CD.

Consider angles on the straight line CD. The points are C, M, D. $\angle BCM$ is $\angle C$. $\angle BMC$ is not on the line CD.

Let's use the parallel lines property on the transversal CD.

Consider the line BM intersecting the parallel lines AB and CD (extended). Then $\angle ABM + \angle BMC = 180^\circ$ (consecutive interior angles). No, that's not right.

Let's reconsider the construction where we draw a line through B parallel to AD, intersecting CD at M.

ABMD is a parallelogram. So AB $\parallel$ DM and AD $\parallel$ BM.

AD = BM (opposite sides of parallelogram).

Given AD = BC. So BM = BC.

In $\triangle BMC$, BM = BC, so $\angle BMC = \angle BCM = \angle C$.

Since BM $\parallel$ AD, and CD is a transversal, $\angle ADC + \angle DMC = 180^\circ$ (consecutive interior angles)? No.

Since BM $\parallel$ AD, and CD is a transversal, $\angle ADM + \angle DMC = 180^\circ$ would be true if ADM was a straight line, which it is.

The angle $\angle D$ of the trapezium is $\angle ADC$.

Since BM $\parallel$ AD and CD is a transversal, $\angle D + \angle BMC$ ? No.

Let's use the property that angles on the same side of a transversal between parallel lines are supplementary when the transversal is one of the non-parallel sides. Not applicable here as AD and BC are non-parallel.

Back to $\triangle BMC$ where BM=BC and $\angle BMC = \angle C$.

Consider the straight line CD. $\angle BMC$ and $\angle BMA$? No.

Consider the angles on the line CD. Point M is on CD. $\angle BMC$ is an angle of the triangle.

Let's look at angles related to parallel lines AB and CD.

Consider transversal AD. $\angle A$ and $\angle D$. No simple relation.

Consider transversal BC. $\angle B$ and $\angle C$. No simple relation.

Consider transversal AC. $\angle BAC$ and $\angle ACD$ are alternate interior angles if AB $\parallel$ CD. So $\angle BAC = \angle ACD$.

Consider transversal BD. $\angle ABD$ and $\angle BDC$ are alternate interior angles if AB $\parallel$ CD. So $\angle ABD = \angle BDC$.

---

Let's use the fact that $\angle D = \angle C$ (from the RHS congruence of $\triangle AFD$ and $\triangle BGC$).

Consider the parallel lines AB and CD and the transversal AD.

Let $\angle D = x$. Then $\angle C = x$.

Draw a line through A parallel to BC, intersecting CD at N.

ABCD is a trapezium with AB $\parallel$ CD.

Let's draw AD parallel to BM where M is on CD. ADMB is a parallelogram. $\angle D + \angle AMD = 180^\circ$ (consecutive interior angles). $\angle AMD$ is on the line CD. This construction is also problematic.

The easiest way is to use the fact that the sum of consecutive interior angles between parallel lines and a transversal is $180^\circ$.

Draw lines from A and B perpendicular to CD at F and G.

We proved $\angle D = \angle C$. Let $\angle D = \angle C = x$.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, the sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal AD is NOT necessarily $180^\circ$. The sum of co-interior angles is $180^\circ$ when the transversal intersects two parallel lines. Here AD is the transversal, and AB and CD are the parallel lines.

However, consider extending AD and BC to meet at a point P. Since AB $\parallel$ CD, $\triangle PAB$ is similar to $\triangle PCD$. This doesn't seem to help with angles.

Let's go back to the first method using perpendiculars AF and BG.

We proved $\angle D = \angle C$ and AF = BG and AD = BC.

In $\triangle AFD$ and $\triangle BGC$, by RHS, $\triangle AFD \cong \triangle BGC$. So $\angle D = \angle C$.

Consider the parallel lines AB and CD and the transversal AD. Let's consider the interior angles on the same side, which are $\angle DAB$ and $\angle ADC$. Their sum is not $180^\circ$ in a general trapezium.

Let's use the property that if the non-parallel sides are equal, the base angles are equal. We proved $\angle D = \angle C$. These are base angles on the longer base CD (assuming AB < CD).

Now, consider the angles $\angle A$ and $\angle B$.

Draw a line through A parallel to BC, intersecting CD at E. Then ABCE is a parallelogram (AB $\parallel$ CE, AE $\parallel$ BC).

So AB = CE and AE = BC.

Given AD = BC, so AD = AE.

In $\triangle ADE$, AD = AE, so it is an isosceles triangle.

$\angle ADE$ is the same as $\angle D$ of the trapezium.

Since AE $\parallel$ BC and CD is a transversal, $\angle AEC + \angle BCE = 180^\circ$ (consecutive interior angles). This is not helpful.

Since AE $\parallel$ BC and CD is a transversal, $\angle AED$ and $\angle BCE$ are corresponding angles if we extend AE and BC. No.

Since AE $\parallel$ BC and CD is a transversal, consider angles on the same side of transversal CD. No clear relation.

Let's use the property that AE $\parallel$ BC and AD is a transversal. $\angle DAE + \angle ADB = 180^\circ$? No.

Since AE $\parallel$ BC, and transversal CD intersects them, $\angle AED + \angle ECB = 180^\circ$? No.

Let's use the property that AE $\parallel$ BC and transversal AC intersects them. $\angle EAC = \angle BCA$ (alternate interior angles). No, AE $\parallel$ BC.

Since AE $\parallel$ BC, and transversal AC intersects them, $\angle EAC$ and $\angle BCA$ are alternate interior angles. No.

Let's consider transversal AC intersecting parallel lines AB and CD. $\angle BAC = \angle ACD$ (alternate interior angles).

Let's consider transversal BD intersecting parallel lines AB and CD. $\angle ABD = \angle BDC$ (alternate interior angles).

Let's go back to the isosceles triangle $\triangle ADE$ where AD = AE and $\angle ADE = \angle AED$.

The angle $\angle AED$ and $\angle AEC$ form a linear pair.

Since ABCE is a parallelogram, $\angle BAE + \angle ABC = 180^\circ$ and $\angle AEC = \angle ABC$ (opposite angles of parallelogram). Also $\angle BCE + \angle AEC = 180^\circ$ (consecutive interior angles between parallel lines BC and AE with transversal CE). No, with transversal EC and parallel lines BC and AE.

Since ABCE is a parallelogram, $\angle C = \angle AEB$? No.

Since ABCE is a parallelogram, $\angle ABC + \angle BCE = 180^\circ$. Also $\angle BAE + \angle AEC = 180^\circ$.

We have $\angle ADE = \angle AED = \angle D$.

Also $\angle C = \angle BCE$.

We need to show $\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ$ and $\angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ$.

We know $\angle C = \angle D$. So we need to show $\angle A + \angle D = 180^\circ$ and $\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$.

Consider $\triangle ADE$ where $\angle D = \angle AED$.

Consider parallelogram ABCE. $\angle B = \angle AEC$.

$\angle D + \angle AED = \angle D + \angle D = 2\angle D$. This is not useful.

We know $\angle AED + \angle AEC = 180^\circ$.

So $\angle D + \angle B = 180^\circ$.

Also, in the parallelogram ABCE, $\angle A_{part} + \angle B = 180^\circ$. The angle $\angle A$ of the trapezium is $\angle DAB = \angle DAE + \angle EAB$.

In $\triangle ADE$, $\angle DAE = 180^\circ - (\angle D + \angle AED) = 180^\circ - 2\angle D$.

In parallelogram ABCE, $\angle EAB + \angle ABC = 180^\circ$. Let $\angle ABC = \angle B$. Then $\angle EAB = 180^\circ - \angle B$.

$\angle A = \angle DAE + \angle EAB = (180^\circ - 2\angle D) + (180^\circ - \angle B) = 360^\circ - 2\angle D - \angle B$.

This seems overly complicated.

---

Let's use the property that the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is $360^\circ$.

$\angle A + \angle B + \angle C + \angle D = 360^\circ$.

We proved $\angle C = \angle D$. So $\angle A + \angle B + 2\angle C = 360^\circ$.

In a trapezium with AB $\parallel$ CD, the consecutive interior angles between the parallel sides and a non-parallel transversal are supplementary.

Consider transversal AD intersecting parallel lines AB and CD. No direct relation.

Consider transversal AB intersecting parallel lines AD and BC? No, AD and BC are not parallel.

Consider transversal CD intersecting parallel lines AD and BC? No.

The property is about angles between parallel lines and a transversal.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, and AD is a transversal, consider extending AD and BC to meet at P.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, $\angle PAB = \angle PCD$ and $\angle PBA = \angle PDC$ (corresponding angles). This assumes P is the intersection of extended non-parallel sides.

Given non-parallel sides AD = BC. In $\triangle PCD$, $\angle PCD$ and $\angle PDC$ are base angles. If AD=BC, it implies $\angle PCD = \angle PDC$? Not necessarily.

Let's go back to $\angle D = \angle C$ from the perpendicular construction.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, consider the transversal AD. The sum of interior angles on the same side is $\angle DAB + \angle ADC$. No simple relation.

However, if we consider the interior angles on the same side of transversal AD between AB and CD, we cannot say they sum to $180^\circ$ unless AD was perpendicular to both, making it a rectangle (a special trapezium).

Let's use the property of parallel lines. Draw a line through A parallel to BC, meeting CD at E.

ABCE is a parallelogram. AB $\parallel$ CE, AE $\parallel$ BC. $\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$ (consecutive interior angles between parallel lines BC and AE intersected by CE and BE? No).

Since AE $\parallel$ BC, consider transversal AB. $\angle BAE + \angle ABC = 180^\circ$.

Since AE $\parallel$ BC, consider transversal CE. $\angle AEC + \angle BCE = 180^\circ$.

In $\triangle ADE$, AD = BC = AE. So $\triangle ADE$ is isosceles. $\angle ADE = \angle AED$.

$\angle D = \angle ADE = \angle AED$.

We need to prove $\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ$ and $\angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ$.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, $\angle BAE + \angle AEC = 180^\circ$ is not correct.

Since AE $\parallel$ BC, and CD is a transversal, $\angle AED + \angle BCE = 180^\circ$ (consecutive interior angles between parallel lines AE and BC, and transversal CD)? No, CD is not a transversal that connects both parallel lines in a simple way.

Since AE $\parallel$ BC, consider transversal EC. $\angle AEC + \angle BCE = 180^\circ$. No, angles are between the parallel lines.

Let's use the exterior angle property of a cyclic quadrilateral. A quadrilateral is cyclic if and only if an exterior angle is equal to the interior opposite angle.

Let's extend CD to F. $\angle ADF = 180^\circ - \angle ADC = 180^\circ - \angle D$.

We need to show $\angle ADF = \angle B$ or $\angle D + \angle B = 180^\circ$.

We proved $\angle C = \angle D$. We need to show $\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ$ and $\angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ$.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, let's consider the transversal AD. The interior angles on the same side are $\angle A$ and $\angle D$. No simple relation.

However, if we extend AD and BC to meet at P, $\triangle PAB$ is similar to $\triangle PCD$. Let AB = a, CD = b. $\frac{PA}{PD} = \frac{PB}{PC} = \frac{AB}{CD} = \frac{a}{b}$. Also, AD = BC. Let AD = BC = c. PD = PA + c, PC = PB + c. $\frac{PA}{PA+c} = \frac{PB}{PB+c}$. PA(PB+c) = PB(PA+c). PAPB + Pac = PBPA + Pbc. Pac = Pbc. Since c $\neq$ 0 (otherwise A=D and B=C, which is degenerate), Pa = Pb. Since a/b is the ratio, this is consistent. This does not help with angles.

Let's go back to the perpendiculars AF and BG to CD. We have $\angle D = \angle C$.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, the sum of angles between parallel lines on the same side of a transversal sum to $180^\circ$. This is true for transversal AD and BC if they were transversals connecting both parallel lines. They are the non-parallel sides.

Consider angles formed by transversal AD with parallel lines AB and CD. $\angle BAD$ and $\angle ADC$. No sum of $180^\circ$.

Let's use the property that the sum of angles adjacent to the parallel sides formed by a non-parallel side is $180^\circ$. This is not a standard property. The property is that the sum of interior angles on the same side of a transversal between parallel lines is $180^\circ$.

Since AB $\parallel$ CD, then $\angle ABC + \angle BCD_{adj} = 180^\circ$? No.

Let's extend AD and BC to meet at P. Since AB $\parallel$ CD, $\angle PAB + \angle ADC = 180^\circ$ and $\angle PBA + \angle BCD = 180^\circ$ are incorrect (this is for consecutive interior angles formed by transversal intersecting parallel lines).

The angles that sum to $180^\circ$ are formed by a transversal intersecting two parallel lines. The transversal must cut both parallel lines. In our trapezium, AB $\parallel$ CD. Transversal AD intersects AB and CD. The interior angles on the same side are $\angle BAD$ and $\angle ADC$. Their sum is NOT $180^\circ$ unless AD $\perp$ AB and AD $\perp$ CD (making it a rectangle). Similarly for transversal BC, $\angle ABC + \angle BCD$ is not $180^\circ$ generally.

The correct application of parallel line property: Extend AD. Draw a line through A parallel to BC, meeting CD at E. Then ABCE is a parallelogram. $\angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$. No, $\angle B + \angle BEC = 180^\circ$.

In parallelogram ABCE, $\angle B + \angle C_{part} = 180^\circ$. Where $\angle C_{part}$ is $\angle BCE$.

Let's restart the proof using the parallel line from A.

Draw AE parallel to BC, where E is on CD.

ABCE is a parallelogram. So AB $\parallel$ CE, AE $\parallel$ BC. $\angle B = \angle AEC$ and $\angle A_{part} = \angle BCE$. Also AB = CE.

Given AD = BC. Since AE $\parallel$ BC, AE = BC (opposite sides of parallelogram). So AD = AE.

In $\triangle ADE$, AD = AE, so $\angle ADE = \angle AED$. $\angle D = \angle AED$.

The angles $\angle AED$ and $\angle AEC$ form a linear pair on the line CD.

Substitute $\angle AED = \angle D$ and $\angle AEC = \angle B$ (from parallelogram ABCE).

So, a pair of opposite angles $\angle B$ and $\angle D$ are supplementary.

The sum of all angles in the quadrilateral is $360^\circ$.

Since $\angle B + \angle D = 180^\circ$, substitute this into the equation:

Since both pairs of opposite angles are supplementary, the quadrilateral ABCD is cyclic.

---

This proof using the parallel line construction is correct.

Given:

Two circles intersect at points B and C.

A line segment ABD intersects the circles at A (on the first circle) and D (on the second circle).

A line segment PBQ intersects the circles at P (on the first circle) and Q (on the second circle).

---

To Prove:

$\angle ACP = \angle QCD$.

---

Proof:

Consider the first circle passing through points A, P, C, and B.

In this circle, APCD is not a cyclic quadrilateral. The points on the first circle are A, B, C, P.

Consider the cyclic quadrilateral formed by the points A, B, C, P on the first circle.

The angle subtended by the chord AP at point C is $\angle ACP$.

The angle subtended by the chord AP at point B is $\angle ABP$.

Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

Note that $\angle ABP$ is the same as $\angle ABD$ as P, B, D are collinear.

---

Consider the second circle passing through points D, Q, C, and B.

Consider the cyclic quadrilateral formed by the points D, B, C, Q on the second circle.

The angle subtended by the chord DQ at point C is $\angle QCD$.

The angle subtended by the chord DQ at point B is $\angle DBQ$.

Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

Note that $\angle DBQ$ is the same as $\angle PBQ$ as D, B, P are collinear.

---

Now consider the angles $\angle ABD$ and $\angle PBQ$. These are vertically opposite angles formed by the intersection of line segments AD and PQ at point B.

---

From (i), we have $\angle ACP = \angle ABD$.

From (ii), we have $\angle QCD = \angle PBQ$.

From (iii), we have $\angle ABD = \angle PBQ$.

By substitution, since $\angle ACP$ is equal to $\angle ABD$, and $\angle ABD$ is equal to $\angle PBQ$, and $\angle PBQ$ is equal to $\angle QCD$, it follows that:

---

Thus, $\angle ACP = \angle QCD$.

Given:

A triangle ABC.

A circle is drawn with AB as diameter.

A circle is drawn with AC as diameter.

Let the two circles intersect at points A and D.

---

To Prove:

The point of intersection D (other than A) lies on the third side BC of the triangle ABC.

To prove that D lies on the line segment BC, we need to show that $\angle BDC$ is a straight angle, i.e., $\angle BDC = 180^\circ$. If $\angle BDA + \angle CDA = 180^\circ$, then B, D, and C are collinear.

---

Construction Required:

Join AD.

---

Proof:

Consider the circle drawn with AB as diameter.

The angle subtended by the diameter AB at any point on the circumference of this circle is $90^\circ$ (Angle in a semicircle).

Since D is a point on this circle, the angle subtended by the diameter AB at D is $\angle ADB$.

---

Now consider the circle drawn with AC as diameter.

The angle subtended by the diameter AC at any point on the circumference of this circle is $90^\circ$ (Angle in a semicircle).

Since D is also a point on this circle, the angle subtended by the diameter AC at D is $\angle ADC$.

---

Consider the angles around point D on the line containing B, D, and C.

We have the angles $\angle ADB$ and $\angle ADC$.

The sum of these two angles is:

Since $\angle BDC$ is a straight angle ($180^\circ$), the points B, D, and C are collinear.

Furthermore, since D is the intersection point of the two circles, and both circles pass through A, D is the intersection point other than A.

If the triangle is non-degenerate, A, B, and C are not collinear. The circles intersect at A and potentially at another point. If D lies on the line BC and satisfies the angle conditions, it must be the intersection point (other than A).

Since D lies on the line BC and is the intersection of the two circles, it must lie on the line segment BC (unless A, B, C are collinear, in which case it's a degenerate triangle).

Assuming a non-degenerate triangle, the intersection point D lies on the third side BC.

Given:

ABC is a right triangle with $\angle ABC = 90^\circ$.

ADC is a right triangle with $\angle ADC = 90^\circ$.

AC is the common hypotenuse for both triangles.

---

To Prove:

$\angle CAD = \angle CBD$.

---

Proof:

Consider the triangle ABC, which is right-angled at B.

We know that the vertex opposite the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle lies on the circle whose diameter is the hypotenuse.

Since $\angle ABC = 90^\circ$ and AC is the hypotenuse, the point B lies on the circle with AC as diameter.

---

Consider the triangle ADC, which is right-angled at D.

Since $\angle ADC = 90^\circ$ and AC is the hypotenuse, the point D lies on the circle with AC as diameter.

---

Since both points B and D lie on the circle with AC as diameter, the points A, B, C, and D are concyclic (lie on the same circle).

Therefore, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

---

In a cyclic quadrilateral, angles subtended by the same chord in the same segment are equal.

Consider the chord CD. The angle subtended by chord CD at point A is $\angle CAD$. The angle subtended by chord CD at point B is $\angle CBD$. These angles are in the same segment (the segment that does not contain the point A and B on opposite sides of CD).

---

Thus, $\angle CAD = \angle CBD$.

Given:

ABCD is a cyclic parallelogram.

---

To Prove:

ABCD is a rectangle.

To prove that a parallelogram is a rectangle, we need to show that one of its interior angles is $90^\circ$.

---

Proof:

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we know that opposite angles are equal.

Also, consecutive interior angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

---

Since ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, we know that opposite angles are supplementary.

---

From the properties of a parallelogram, we have $\angle C = \angle A$.

Substitute this into the cyclic quadrilateral property $\angle A + \angle C = 180^\circ$:

---

Since $\angle A = 90^\circ$ and $\angle A = \angle C$ (parallelogram property), $\angle C = 90^\circ$.

Since $\angle A + \angle B = 180^\circ$ (parallelogram property), $90^\circ + \angle B = 180^\circ$.

Since $\angle B = \angle D$ (parallelogram property), $\angle D = 90^\circ$.

---

Thus, all four angles of the parallelogram ABCD are $90^\circ$ ($\angle A = \angle B = \angle C = \angle D = 90^\circ$).

A parallelogram with one angle equal to $90^\circ$ is a rectangle.

---

Therefore, a cyclic parallelogram is a rectangle.

Given:

Two circles with centres O and O' intersect at two points B and C.

---

To Prove:

The line of centres OO' subtends equal angles at the two points of intersection B and C.

That is, $\angle OBO' = \angle OCO'$.

---

Proof:

Consider the first circle with centre O.

OB and OC are the radii of this circle to the intersection points B and C.

---

Consider the second circle with centre O'.

O'B and O'C are the radii of this circle to the intersection points B and C.

---

Now, consider the triangles $\triangle OBO'$ and $\triangle OCO'$.

We have the following side lengths:

Therefore, by the Side-Side-Side (SSS) congruence criterion, we have:

$\triangle OBO' \cong \triangle OCO'$

---

By Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles (CPCT), the corresponding angles are equal.

The angles subtended by the line of centres OO' at the points of intersection B and C are $\angle OBO'$ and $\angle OCO'$, which are corresponding angles in the congruent triangles.

---

Hence, the line of centres of two intersecting circles subtends equal angles at the two points of intersection.

Given:

A circle with centre O.

Two parallel chords AB and CD, on opposite sides of the centre.

Length of chord AB = 5 cm.

Length of chord CD = 11 cm.

Distance between chords AB and CD = 6 cm.

---

To Find:

The radius of the circle.

---

Solution:

Let O be the centre of the circle.

Draw a perpendicular from the centre O to chord AB. Let it meet AB at M. The perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.

Let the distance of chord AB from the centre O be OM = $x$ cm.

---

Draw a perpendicular from the centre O to chord CD. Let it meet CD at N. The perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.

Let the distance of chord CD from the centre O be ON = $y$ cm.

---

Since the chords are parallel and on opposite sides of the centre, the distance between the chords is the sum of their distances from the centre.

---

Let $r$ be the radius of the circle. Then OA = OC = $r$.

Consider the right-angled triangle $\triangle OMA$. By the Pythagorean theorem:

$OA^2 = OM^2 + AM^2$

---

Consider the right-angled triangle $\triangle ONC$. By the Pythagorean theorem:

$OC^2 = ON^2 + CN^2$

---

From (i), $y = 6 - x$. Substitute this into (iii):

---

Now we have two expressions for $r^2$ from (ii) and (iv). Equate them:

Subtract $x^2$ from both sides:

So, OM = 5 cm.

---

Now substitute the value of $x$ into the equation for $r^2$ from (ii):

---

Take the square root to find the radius $r$:

$31.25 = \frac{3125}{100} = \frac{125 \times 25}{4 \times 25} = \frac{125}{4}$.

The radius is $\frac{5\sqrt{5}}{2}$ cm.

Let's check with $y$: $y = 6 - x = 6 - 5 = 1$ cm.

$r^2 = y^2 + 30.25 = 1^2 + 30.25 = 1 + 30.25 = 31.25$. This matches.

---

The radius of the circle is $\sqrt{31.25}$ cm or $\frac{5\sqrt{5}}{2}$ cm.

$\sqrt{31.25} \approx \sqrt{31.36} = 5.6$. Let's write it as $\sqrt{31.25}$.

Given:

A circle with centre O.

Two parallel chords AB and CD with lengths 6 cm and 8 cm.

The smaller chord (length 6 cm) is at a distance of 4 cm from the centre.

---

To Find:

The distance of the other chord (length 8 cm) from the centre.

---

Solution:

Let the smaller chord be AB, so AB = 6 cm. Its distance from the centre O is 4 cm.

Let the larger chord be CD, so CD = 8 cm. We need to find its distance from the centre.

---

Draw a perpendicular from the centre O to chord AB. Let it meet AB at M.

The perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.

The distance of chord AB from the centre is OM = 4 cm.

---

Consider the right-angled triangle $\triangle OMA$. By the Pythagorean theorem:

$OA^2 = OM^2 + AM^2$

$OA^2 = 4^2 + 3^2$

$OA^2 = 16 + 9$

$OA^2 = 25$

$OA = \sqrt{25}$ cm = 5 cm.

The radius of the circle is OA = 5 cm.

---

Now, draw a perpendicular from the centre O to chord CD. Let it meet CD at N.

The perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.

Let the distance of chord CD from the centre O be ON = $d$ cm.

---

Consider the right-angled triangle $\triangle ONC$. OC is the radius of the circle, so OC = 5 cm.

By the Pythagorean theorem:

$OC^2 = ON^2 + CN^2$

$5^2 = d^2 + 4^2$

$25 = d^2 + 16$

$d^2 = 25 - 16$

$d^2 = 9$

$d = \sqrt{9}$ cm = 3 cm.

---

The distance of the other chord (CD) from the centre is 3 cm.

---

Note: The problem does not state whether the chords are on the same side or opposite sides of the centre. However, the distance of a chord from the centre is inversely related to its length (longer chords are closer to the centre). Since the 8 cm chord is longer than the 6 cm chord, its distance from the centre must be less than 4 cm. Our result of 3 cm is consistent with this.

Given:

A circle with center O.

An angle $\angle ABC$ with its vertex B located outside the circle.

The sides BA and BC intersect the circle at points A, D and C, E respectively.

Chord AD = Chord CE.

---

To Prove:

$\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} (\angle AOC - \angle DOE)$

(Assuming arc AC is the farther intercepted arc and arc DE is the nearer intercepted arc, which implies $\angle AOC > \angle DOE$. If not, it's half the absolute difference).

---

Construction:

Join CD.

---

Proof:

Consider the triangle $\triangle BCD$.

The angle $\angle ADC$ is an exterior angle to $\triangle BCD$.

By the exterior angle theorem, the measure of an exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the two opposite interior angles.

Therefore, $\angle ADC = \angle DBC + \angle DCB$.

We know that $\angle DBC$ is the same as $\angle ABC$.

So, $\angle ADC = \angle ABC + \angle DCB$.

Rearranging this equation to find $\angle ABC$:

Now, consider the angles subtended by arcs at the circumference.

$\angle ADC$ is an inscribed angle subtending the arc AC.

Therefore, $\angle ADC = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{measure of arc } AC)$.

$\angle DCB$ (which is the same as $\angle DCE$) is an inscribed angle subtending the arc DE.

Therefore, $\angle DCB = \frac{1}{2} \times (\text{measure of arc } DE)$.

Substitute these expressions back into equation (i):

$\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} (\text{measure of arc } AC) - \frac{1}{2} (\text{measure of arc } DE)$

$\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} [(\text{measure of arc } AC) - (\text{measure of arc } DE)]$

The measure of an arc is equal to the angle subtended by the corresponding chord at the center of the circle.

Measure of arc AC = $\angle AOC$.

Measure of arc DE = $\angle DOE$.

Substituting these into the expression for $\angle ABC$:

$\angle ABC = \frac{1}{2} (\angle AOC - \angle DOE)$

Note: The condition that chord AD = chord CE implies that arc AD = arc CE. This information is not required for the derivation of the relationship between $\angle ABC$ and the central angles $\angle AOC$ and $\angle DOE$ using the standard theorem about the angle formed by two secants.

Hence Proved.

Given:

A rhombus ABCD.

Diagonals AC and BD intersect at point O.

---

To Prove:

The circle drawn with any side (e.g., AB) of the rhombus as diameter passes through the point of intersection O.

---

Proof:

Let ABCD be a rhombus.

We know a fundamental property of a rhombus: the diagonals bisect each other at right angles (90°).

Therefore, the angle formed by the intersection of the diagonals AC and BD at point O is a right angle.

Specifically, considering the angle formed by sides AO and BO at the intersection point O:

Now, let's consider a circle drawn with side AB of the rhombus as its diameter.

A well-known geometric theorem states that the angle subtended by a diameter at any point on the circumference of the circle is a right angle (angle in a semicircle).

Since we have established that $\angle AOB = 90^\circ$, this means that the point O satisfies the condition for being on the circumference of a circle with diameter AB.

Therefore, the point O must lie on the circle drawn with AB as diameter.

This logic can be applied to any side of the rhombus:

Since $\angle BOC = 90^\circ$, O lies on the circle with diameter BC.

Since $\angle COD = 90^\circ$, O lies on the circle with diameter CD.

Since $\angle DOA = 90^\circ$, O lies on the circle with diameter DA.

Thus, the circle drawn with any side of a rhombus as diameter passes through the point of intersection of its diagonals.

Hence Proved.

Given:

1. ABCD is a parallelogram.

2. A circle passes through points A, B, and C.

3. This circle intersects the line containing segment CD at point E.

---

To Prove:

$AE = AD$.

---

Proof:

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, we know that opposite sides are parallel.

Therefore, $AB || DC$.

Since point E lies on the line containing segment DC, the line segment EC is part of the line DC.

Thus, $AB || EC$.

We are given that the points A, B, C, and E lie on a circle. This means that the quadrilateral ABCE is a cyclic quadrilateral.

Now, consider the quadrilateral ABCE. It is cyclic, and its opposite sides AB and EC are parallel ($AB || EC$).

A cyclic quadrilateral with at least one pair of opposite sides parallel is an isosceles trapezium.

Therefore, ABCE is an isosceles trapezium.

In an isosceles trapezium, the non-parallel sides are equal in length. The parallel sides are AB and EC. The non-parallel sides are AE and BC.

Hence, $AE = BC$.

Also, since ABCD is a parallelogram, its opposite sides are equal in length.

Therefore, $AD = BC$.

Comparing the two results, we have:

$AE = BC$ and $AD = BC$.

This implies $AE = AD$.

Hence Proved.

Given:

A circle with chords AC and BD.

Chords AC and BD bisect each other. Let the intersection point be O.

So, $OA = OC$ and $OB = OD$.

---

To Prove:

(i) AC and BD are diameters.

(ii) ABCD is a rectangle.

---

Proof:

Consider the triangles $\triangle AOB$ and $\triangle COD$.

Therefore, by SAS (Side-Angle-Side) congruence criterion:

$\triangle AOB \cong \triangle COD$

By CPCTC (Corresponding Parts of Congruent Triangles are Congruent):

$AB = CD$

Similarly, consider the triangles $\triangle AOD$ and $\triangle BOC$.

Therefore, by SAS congruence criterion:

$\triangle AOD \cong \triangle BOC$

By CPCTC:

$AD = BC$

Since the opposite sides of the quadrilateral ABCD are equal ($AB = CD$ and $AD = BC$), ABCD is a parallelogram.

Also, angles in (i) and (ii) are alternate interior angles formed by transversal AC intersecting AB and CD, and transversal BD intersecting AD and BC respectively. Since these alternate interior angles are equal, we have $AB || CD$ and $AD || BC$. This confirms ABCD is a parallelogram.

Since ABCD is a parallelogram and its vertices lie on the circle, ABCD is a cyclic parallelogram.

We know that opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal:

$\angle DAB = \angle BCD$ and $\angle ABC = \angle ADC$.

Also, we know that opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary:

From $\angle DAB = \angle BCD$ and equation (iii):

$\angle DAB + \angle DAB = 180^\circ$

$2 \angle DAB = 180^\circ$

$\angle DAB = 90^\circ$

Since $\angle DAB = 90^\circ$, then $\angle BCD = 90^\circ$.

Similarly, from $\angle ABC = \angle ADC$ and equation (iv):

$\angle ABC + \angle ABC = 180^\circ$

$2 \angle ABC = 180^\circ$

$\angle ABC = 90^\circ$

Since $\angle ABC = 90^\circ$, then $\angle ADC = 90^\circ$.

Proof of (i): AC and BD are diameters

The angle subtended by a chord at any point on the circumference is $90^\circ$ only if the chord is a diameter (Angle in a semicircle property).

Since $\angle ABC = 90^\circ$, the angle subtended by chord AC at point B is $90^\circ$. Therefore, AC is a diameter.

Since $\angle DAB = 90^\circ$, the angle subtended by chord BD at point A is $90^\circ$. Therefore, BD is a diameter.

Hence, part (i) is proved.

---

Proof of (ii): ABCD is a rectangle

We have already proved that ABCD is a parallelogram.

We have also proved that all its interior angles are $90^\circ$ ($\angle DAB = \angle ABC = \angle BCD = \angle ADC = 90^\circ$).

A parallelogram with one (and hence all) angle equal to $90^\circ$ is a rectangle.

Therefore, ABCD is a rectangle.

Hence, part (ii) is proved.

Given:

ABC is a triangle inscribed in a circumcircle.

AD, BE, and CF are the bisectors of angles $\angle$A, $\angle$B, and $\angle$C respectively, which intersect the circumcircle at points D, E, and F.

---

To Prove:

The angles of triangle DEF are $90^\circ - \frac{1}{2}$ A, $90^\circ - \frac{1}{2}$ B, and $90^\circ - \frac{1}{2}$ C.

---

Proof:

We know that angles subtended by the same arc in a circle are equal.

Since AD is the angle bisector of $\angle$A, it divides $\angle$A into two equal angles, $\angle$BAD and $\angle$CAD.

Thus, $\angle$BAD = $\angle$CAD = $\frac{1}{2}$ A.

Similarly, since BE is the angle bisector of $\angle$B, $\angle$ABE = $\angle$CBE = $\frac{1}{2}$ B.

And since CF is the angle bisector of $\angle$C, $\angle$ACF = $\angle$BCF = $\frac{1}{2}$ C.

Now, consider the angles of triangle DEF.

Let's find $\angle$EFD.

$\angle$EFD subtends arc ED on the circumcircle.

Arc ED consists of arc EC and arc CD.

$\angle$EFD = $\angle$EFC + $\angle$CFD.

The angle subtended by arc EC at the circumference is $\angle$EBC (or $\angle$EAC).

So, $\angle$EFC = $\frac{1}{2}$ B.

The angle subtended by arc CD at the circumference is $\angle$CAD (or $\angle$CBD).

So, $\angle$CFD = $\frac{1}{2}$ A.

Therefore, $\angle$EFD = $\angle$EFC + $\angle$CFD = $\frac{1}{2}$ B + $\frac{1}{2}$ A = $\frac{1}{2}$(A + B).

In triangle ABC, A + B + C = $180^\circ$. So, A + B = $180^\circ$ - C.

$\angle$EFD = $\frac{1}{2}$($180^\circ$ - C) = $90^\circ - \frac{1}{2}$ C.

Now, let's find $\angle$FDE.

$\angle$FDE subtends arc FE on the circumcircle.

Arc FE consists of arc FA and arc AE.

$\angle$FDE = $\angle$FDA + $\angle$EDA.

The angle subtended by arc FA at the circumference is $\angle$FCA (or $\angle$FBA).

So, $\angle$FDA = $\frac{1}{2}$ C.

The angle subtended by arc AE at the circumference is $\angle$ABE (or $\angle$ACE).

So, $\angle$EDA = $\frac{1}{2}$ B.

Therefore, $\angle$FDE = $\angle$FDA + $\angle$EDA = $\frac{1}{2}$ C + $\frac{1}{2}$ B = $\frac{1}{2}$(B + C).

In triangle ABC, A + B + C = $180^\circ$. So, B + C = $180^\circ$ - A.

$\angle$FDE = $\frac{1}{2}$($180^\circ$ - A) = $90^\circ - \frac{1}{2}$ A.

Finally, let's find $\angle$DEF.

$\angle$DEF subtends arc DF on the circumcircle.

Arc DF consists of arc DB and arc BF.

$\angle$DEF = $\angle$DEB + $\angle$BEF.

The angle subtended by arc DB at the circumference is $\angle$DAB (or $\angle$DCB).

So, $\angle$DEB = $\frac{1}{2}$ A.

The angle subtended by arc BF at the circumference is $\angle$BCF (or $\angle$BAF).

So, $\angle$BEF = $\frac{1}{2}$ C.

Therefore, $\angle$DEF = $\angle$DEB + $\angle$BEF = $\frac{1}{2}$ A + $\frac{1}{2}$ C = $\frac{1}{2}$(A + C).

In triangle ABC, A + B + C = $180^\circ$. So, A + C = $180^\circ$ - B.

$\angle$DEF = $\frac{1}{2}$($180^\circ$ - B) = $90^\circ - \frac{1}{2}$ B.

Thus, the angles of triangle DEF are $90^\circ - \frac{1}{2}$ A, $90^\circ - \frac{1}{2}$ B, and $90^\circ - \frac{1}{2}$ C.

Given:

Two congruent circles intersect each other at points A and B.

A line segment PAQ is drawn through A such that P lies on one circle and Q lies on the other circle.

---

To Prove:

BP = BQ

---

Proof:

Let the two congruent circles be $C_1$ and $C_2$. Let P be on $C_1$ and Q be on $C_2$.

Since A and B are the intersection points of the two circles, the chord AB is common to both circles.

We know that angles subtended by the same chord in congruent circles at the circumference are equal.

Consider chord AB in circle $C_1$. The angle subtended by chord AB at point P on the circumference is $\angle$APB.

Consider chord AB in circle $C_2$. The angle subtended by chord AB at point Q on the circumference is $\angle$AQB.

Now, consider the triangle BPQ.

The angles of triangle BPQ are $\angle$PBQ, $\angle$BPQ, and $\angle$BQP.

Since $\angle$APB = $\angle$AQB, it follows that $\angle$BPQ = $\angle$BQP.

In triangle BPQ, we have two equal angles, $\angle$BPQ and $\angle$BQP.

We know that sides opposite to equal angles in a triangle are equal.

The side opposite to angle $\angle$BQP is BP.

The side opposite to angle $\angle$BPQ is BQ.

Hence Proved.

Given:

In $\triangle$ABC, AD is the angle bisector of $\angle$A, and line 'm' is the perpendicular bisector of side BC.

---

To Prove:

The intersection point of the angle bisector of $\angle$A and the perpendicular bisector of BC lies on the circumcircle of $\triangle$ABC.

---

Construction:

Draw the circumcircle of $\triangle$ABC. Let the angle bisector of $\angle$A intersect the circumcircle at point D.

---

Proof:

Let the angle bisector of $\angle$A intersect the circumcircle of $\triangle$ABC at point D.

Since AD is the angle bisector of $\angle$A, we have:

These equal angles subtend equal arcs on the circumcircle.

Therefore, arc BD = arc CD.

Chords corresponding to equal arcs in a circle are equal.

So, chord BD = chord CD.

Since BD = CD, point D is equidistant from points B and C.

The locus of all points equidistant from two given points B and C is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment BC.

Therefore, point D lies on the perpendicular bisector of BC.

By our construction, point D also lies on the angle bisector of $\angle$A (since it's the intersection point of the angle bisector with the circumcircle).

Thus, point D is the intersection point of the angle bisector of $\angle$A and the perpendicular bisector of BC.

Since D was defined as a point on the circumcircle of $\triangle$ABC, their intersection point lies on the circumcircle.

Hence Proved.
