Concept: By using equal angles at the centres and the assertion that circles are congruent, we confirm the statement using Side-Angle-Side (SAS) criteria and corresponding parts of congruent triangles (CPCT).

First, draw chords QR and YZ in two congruent, then connect the radii PR, PQ, and XY, XZ respectively.

Question Image

It is given that chords subtend equal angles at the center.

Then, QPR=YXZ.

Since the circles are congruent, their radii will be equal.

PR=PQ=XZ=XY

Let’s consider the two trianglesPQR and xyz.

PQ=XY

We know chords subtend equal angles at center.

QPR=YXZ

PR=XZ

By using SAS criteria, 

PQRis congruent to XYZ.

By CPCT,

Thus, QR=YZ

So, the chords are equal if chords of congruent circles subtend equal angles at their centres.

Hence, the given statement is true.
