We know that the central angle is the angle subtended at the centre of the circle.

Question Image

Here, we have drawn a circle with centre O.

 AB and CD are equal chords of the circle.

From the figure, we have,

OA = OC    [Radii of a circle]

OB = OD    [Radii of a circle]

AB = CD     [Given]

 Therefore, AOBCOD    [SSS rule]

So, by corresponding parts of congruent triangles,

AOB=COD

Now, it is clear that the equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.

Hence, the given statement is true.
