Question
Two chords AB and AC of a circle with centre O are on the opposite sides of OA. Then ∠OAB = ∠OAC .
Options
True
False
Solution
This statement is False.
Explanation:
We have,
In ΔOAB and ΔOAC,
OA = OA ...[Common]
OB = OC ...[Radii of a same circle]
Here, we are not able to show that either any angle or third side is equal and ΔOAB is not congruent to ΔOAC.
∴ ∠OAB ≠ ∠OAC
