Question 1183491: Visualization : Circle A has 2 Right triangles that share one leg, The Triangles are Triangle ABC and Triangle ACD. The leg they share lie on the midpoint of the circle.
Given : A is the midpoint, ( BC is congruent to ( CD
Prove : | BC is congruent to | CD
( = Curve of the circle
| = Line

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
my picture of what i think you are talking about it shown below:



if that picture is right, then:

arc CB congruent to arc CD (given).
angle BAC = angle DAC (central angle of congruent arcs are equal).
AB congruent to AD (radii of triangle are congruent).
AC congruent to AC (they're the same line).
triangle ABC congruent to triangle ADC (SAS).
BC congruent tp CD (corresponding side of congruent triangle are congruent).

the words may not be exactly what is being looked for, but i think the concept is accurate.
