(a) triangle ABD is congruent to triangle BCD
(b) triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ACD
(c) triangle AOB is congruent to triangle COD
(c) triangle BOC is congruent to triangle AOD
2. AB and CD are diameters of the circle, passing through the centre O.
Prove that triangle AOD is congruent to triangle COB.

3. AB is a diameter of a circle.

1.
(a) BD common side,
AB = DC opps. sides of paralleleogram equal
AD = BC opps. sides of paralleleogram equal

(SSS)

(b) AC common side,


AB = DC opps. sides of paralleleogram equal
AD = BC opps. sides of paralleleogram equal

(SSS)

(c) AO = CO bissected diagonals of a parallelogram are equal


BO = DO bissected diagonals of a parallelogram are equal
angle AOB = angle COD vertically opposite angles

(SAS)

(d) AO = CO bissected diagonals of a parallelogram are equal


BO = DO bissected diagonals of a parallelogram are equal
angle AOD = angle BOC vertically opposite angles

(SAS)
2. OA = OB = OC = OD radii of a circle
angle AOD = angle BOC vertically opposite angles

(SAS)

3. side BC = BD (given)
side AB is common, the hypotenuse
angle ADB = angle ACB = 90o diameter subtends a right angle on the circumference

(side hypotenuse right angle)
