Problem

In a circle with centre OO, two chords ABAB and CDCD are such that AB=CDAB = CD. (i) Prove that ∠AOB=∠COD\angle AOB = \angle COD. (ii) If the measure of the minor arc ABAB is 80∘80^{\circ}, find the measure of the minor arc CDCD. (iii) Suppose the chord CDCD is moved closer to the centre so that its perpendicular distance from OO becomes less than that of ABAB. Will CDCD still remain equal to ABAB? Give a clear reason based on circle properties.
