Answer : Given :If two equal chords intersect within the circle ,
 
To prove that the line joining the point of intersection to the centre makes equal angles with the chord 
 
Let PQ and RS are two equal chords of a given circle and they are intersecting each other at point T.
Draw perpendiculars OV and OU on these chords.
In  traingle OVT and triangle OUT,
OV = OU (Equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre)
angle OVT = angle OUT (Each 90 degree)
OT = OT (Common)
therefore ,triangle OVT is congruent to triangle OUT (RHS congruence rule)
therefore , angle OTV = angle OTU (By CPCT)
Therefore, it is proved that the line joining the point of intersection to the centre makes equal angles with the chords.
