Problem

A,B,CA, B, C and DD are four successive points on a circle with centre OO. The chords ABAB and CDCD are equal, and so are chords ADAD and BCBC. The chords ACAC and BDBD intersect at point PP inside the circle. Carry out the following tasks: (a) Prove that △APD\triangle APD is congruent to △BPC\triangle BPC. (b) Hence show that ∠APD=∠BPC\angle APD = \angle BPC. (c) Deduce that ∠AOB=∠COD\angle AOB = \angle COD.
