Problem

Draw a circle with centre OO. Two chords ABAB and CDCD subtend equal angles at the centre, that is ∠AOB=∠COD\angle AOB = \angle COD. Answer the following questions: (a) State the theorem that relates equal central angles to their chords. (b) Using the theorem stated in part (a), explain why AB=CDAB = CD. (c) If the length of chord ABAB is 6 cm6\,\text{cm}, what is the length of chord CDCD? Give reasons for your answer.
