Problem

Consider a circle with centre OO. Two chords ABAB and CDCD are such that AB=CDAB=CD. Work through the tasks given below. (i) Prove that ∠AOB=∠COD\angle AOB = \angle COD. (ii) Conversely, if ∠AOB=∠COD\angle AOB = \angle COD, prove that AB=CDAB=CD. (iii) Using the results of (i) and (ii), write a concise statement describing the relationship between equal chords and equal central angles in a circle.
