You can do the formal proof, if a formal proof is needed.

Since ON is perpendicular to CB and N is the midpoint of segment CB, triangles ONB and ONC are congruent, which makes segments OB and OC congruent.

By the same argument, triangles OMA and OMB are congruent, making segments OA and OB congruent.

So segments OA, OB, and OC are all congruent.
