Problem

In a circle with centre OO, four points AA, BB, CC and DD are taken in order on the circumference such that ∠AOB=80∘\angle AOB=80^{\circ}, ∠BOC=100∘\angle BOC=100^{\circ}, ∠COD=80∘\angle COD=80^{\circ} and ∠DOA=100∘\angle DOA=100^{\circ}. (i) Prove that chords ABAB and CDCD are equal in length. (ii) Prove that chords BCBC and DADA are equal in length. (iii) Compare the lengths of chords ABAB and BCBC, giving complete justification for your conclusion.
