Concept explainers
To prove: Arcs between parallel cords are equal.
Given:
The figure:
Concept Used:
Theorem 3-2: Alternate interior
Explanation:
In the given figure
It is given that
Now by theorem 9-7, the measure of an inscribed angle is equal to half the measure of its intercepted, so
And
From (1), (2) and (3),
This gives that,
Hence proved that, arcs between parallel cords are equal.
