Use the properties of congruent triangles to prove this. \n" ); document.write( "Draw in radii from the center to each of the endpoints of one chord. This will make an isosceles triangle. \n" ); document.write( "Now do the same to the second chord. Creating a second isosceles triangle.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Using the Side, side, side rule, you can prove the two triangles are congruent.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Knowing they are congruent allows you to prove the similar angles within the two triangles are equal.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
